In AZ mode, it is primarily intended for visual use, and in this mode, two telescopes can be mounted simultaneously in parallel.Free pointing - no need to leave axis locked!A great feature of the AZ-EQ6-GT is the patented dual-encoder technology. This allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its positional information.

Should have bought this years ago Superb rock steady mount, hefty but quiet as a mouse. Runs from handset, Astroberry/Kstars or Windows. Once polar aligned, I leave it outside with a rain-cover on, ready for immediate action! Harrisons £100 cheaper than anywhere else. 2 day delivery via DHL. Excellent service.
