Whether you are observing detailed lunar landscapes or bright deep-sky objects, this versatile system delivers reliable performance and outstanding ease of use. It is the ideal companion for both backyard observing and dark-sky expeditions.
APZ Mount
With smooth friction control mechanism of the APZ mount, the telescope can be moved quickly by hand to your trget object. Lightweight grab-and-go telescope to take it to anywhere.
Derived from the transformation of the AP Mount
The mount is composed of sectional modules and units that can be easily upgraded to an AP equatorial mount with additional components.
Sealed Ball Bearings
The sealed type ball bearings are used for movable part to eliminate from mixing in of dust particles and offer excellent durability. It ensures smooth rotation of an optical tube loaded.
Decent 8kg Loading Weight
The rigid body and sealed ball bearings allows for using a VMC telescope with 200mm aperture.
