Fantastic mount! Automatically links to SkySafari on iPad!

The iOptron AZ Mount Pro arrived in excellent condition and was super easy to set up. (iOptron has all of their manuals online also, so if you need detailed help, there it is.) This mount handled my Takahashi FC100DL (a 22# optical tube package) with ease. With a built-in rechargeable battery, there was no need for cords. And, as the AZ Mount Pro generates its own wi-fi link, the mount showed up on my iPad with ease. One click later, I was connected to the mount/telescope with SkySafari which then let me jump from object to object just by touching the iPad screen. First night out: Saturn's rings, surface details on Mars, double stars, star clusters and the Moon.

Introducing the AZ Mount Pro featuring "level and go" intuitive GOTO setup.

We call it "level and go", the term used to describe iOptron new AZ Mount Pro's simple set up routing. 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 it from there. Utilizing the on board 32 channel GPS receiver and built-in position and angular detection sensors; the AZ mount Pro calculates its global position as well as the telescope orientation. Automatically the mount slews the instrument to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky. The user need only confirm a bright object is in the center of the view, to activate tracking and GOTO functionality.
