Skywatcher AZ5 Alt-Azimuth Mount with Tripod

The ideal no fuss grab and go mount for easy viewing.

The elegant and well engineered Sky-Watcher AZ5 is a lightweight, highly portable Alt-Azimuth mount constructed from cast aluminium, designed to attach small telescopes up to 5kg in weight, fitted with a 45mm vixen type dovetail bar.

The aluminium telescopic tripod legs can be extended and clamped in any position using the integral leg locks. Supplied with two flexible slow-motion cables, one for vertical and one for horizontal smooth fine motion control.
