Good materials.

Experience the precision and stability of the Explore Scientific Twilight I Alt-Azimuth Adjustable Head Mount and Tripod, the ideal accessory for amateur astronomers and stargazers seeking a reliable and user-friendly platform for their small-to-medium size telescopes. This mount is engineered with geared slow-motion controls, complete with flexible cable adjustments, allowing for meticulous altitude and azimuth fine-tuning to effortlessly track celestial bodies across the night sky.

Constructed with a robust metal frame, the Twilight I tripod offers a continuously adjustable height feature, ensuring durability and adaptability for a variety of terrains and observation positions. Its adjustable angle head sets it apart as a lighter and more versatile option compared to the Twilight II mount, without compromising on the smooth operation and versatility that are hallmarks of Explore Scientific's dual head designs.

The Twilight I's single head configuration streamlines its design, reducing weight and enhancing portability, making it the quintessential "grab-n-go" solution for astronomers on the move. Whether you're setting up for a night of deep-sky exploration or quickly relocating to chase a clearer view, this mount and tripod combination delivers the mobility and ease of use that are essential for spontaneous astronomical pursuits.

Compatible with a range of telescopes, the Twilight I is particularly well-suited for the Explore Scientific ED80, ED102, AR102, and BRESSER Messier Series telescopes. It also accommodates most brand small-to-medium telescopes equipped with a Vixen-style dovetail mounting plate. While designed for lighter scopes, the Twilight I can also support heavier models such as the ED127 and Comet Hunter, offering a practical solution in situations where larger, less transportable tripods and mounts are impractical, such as during travel or remote expeditions.

Embrace the craftsmanship and attention to detail that are synonymous with Explore Scientific products. The Twilight I Alt-Azimuth Adjustable Head Mount and Tripod is not just a piece of equipment; it's an invitation to unlock the wonders of the universe with unparalleled control and comfort.
