iOptron Mount AZ Pro GoTo LiteRoc

We've coined it "level and go" to describe the streamlined setup process of the new iOptron AZ Mount Pro. With its built-in precision level indicator, users simply need to ensure the mount is leveled and powered on; from there, this advanced computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes over. Equipped with a 32-channel GPS receiver and integrated position and angular detection sensors, the AZ Mount Pro accurately determines its global position and telescope orientation. It automatically slews the telescope to a prominent celestial object, easily identifiable in the night sky. Users then need only confirm alignment with a bright object to activate tracking and GOTO functionality.

Key Features:

• On-board rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 10 hours of continuous use.
• Primary payload capacity of 33 pounds and secondary payload capacity of 10 pounds, all within a mount weighing just 13 pounds.
