PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
We call it "level and go," the term used to describe the simple setup of the new AZ Pro mount from iOptron.
Using its built-in precision level indicator, the operator simply levels the mount and turns on the power; this capable computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes over from there.
Using the integrated 32-channel GPS receiver and built-in angular and position detection sensors, the AZ Pro mount calculates its global position, as well as the orientation of the telescope.
Automatically, the mount orients the instrument to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky.
The user only has to confirm that a bright object is in the center of the view to activate the tracking and GOTO functionality.
