This Losmandy mount not only has an elegant external finish, its interior also consists of precisely machined aluminum and stainless steel components. Adjustable slip clutches in both axes make handling and navigation in the sky easier. Because you don't have to blindly search for clamping levers at night - the mount stays where you want it.
The mount is equipped with the GoTo system Gemini 2:
The colored touchscreen clearly guides you through the menu in four pre-selectable languages: English, German, French and Spanish
On the back of the hand control box there are four raised buttons for manual movement of the axes. This means you can move the telescope sensitively with your eye on the eyepiece or computer screen without using the touchscreen.
Database with over 40,000 objects
DC servo motors, instead of less precise stepper motors
GPS compatible with optional receiver (see accessory recommendation)
Saves the last setting even after switching off">Losmandy mounts have long enjoyed an outstanding reputation. They are characterized by precise control and a lot of love for mechanics.

The advantages at a glance:
compact and transportable
Mount with high load capacity
High quality: precise aluminum and stainless steel components
Typically stable 3 inch saddle plate for 3 inch dovetail rails
ultra-fast assembly
Buttery smooth running thanks to needle bearings!
Mounting for optional polar finder telescope, but polar alignment is done electronically as standard.
including counterweight
Divisible mount head: For easier transport, the declination axis can be separated from the mount body. The two parts of the mount then only weigh 20 and 8 kilograms!">The positioning accuracy of 0.5 arcseconds is a welcome relief for astrophotographers. The Periodic Error Correction (PEC) compensation compensates for inaccuracies and allows you to achieve precision that meets modern astrophotography. Are you planning astrophotography with an autoguiding camera? That is also possible. You connect your camera via an autoguiding port (TTL). The control also has two USB ports. Without any further driver problems, connect the mount to the PC and control it via a planetarium program. Thanks to the firmware update via the Internet, you always stay up to date.
