Alt-Azimuth Mounts are among the most popular telescope mounting systems for visual astronomy. Their simple design, easy operation, and fast setup make them an excellent choice for beginners and experienced observers alike. At Sky Deep Pakistan, a trusted name in astronomy equipment, you can find a wide range of Alt-Azimuth Mounts designed to suit different observing needs, from casual stargazing to advanced computerized tracking.

What Are Alt-Azimuth Mounts?

Alt-Azimuth Mounts move a telescope in two basic directions: altitude (up and down) and azimuth (left and right). This movement feels natural, similar to how you move your head to look around. Because of this simplicity, Alt-Azimuth Mounts are easy to learn and very user-friendly.

Why Alt-Azimuth Mounts Are Popular in Pakistan

Alt-Azimuth Mounts offer many advantages that make them suitable for local observing conditions.
