iOptron Mount AZ Pro GoTo Tri-Pier

Dubbed "level and go," this term encapsulates the straightforward setup process of iOptron's latest AZ Mount Pro. With its integrated precision level indicator, users simply ensure the mount is level and power it on; from there, this advanced computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes over. Leveraging its 32-channel GPS receiver and integrated position and angular detection sensors, the AZ Mount Pro accurately calculates its global position and telescope orientation. Automatically, the mount slews the telescope to a prominent celestial object visible in the night sky. Users merely confirm alignment with a bright object to activate tracking and GOTO functionality.
