The Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 Mount Head supports most mid-range telescope OTAs and features a 30 lb payload capacity. Designed for a flexible workflow, the AZ-EQ5 is equally suitable for the beginner astronomer interested in astrophotography, the seasoned professional imager, and educators. Part Alt-Az mount, part German equatorial, the AZ-EQ5 is a highly versatile mount. It's capable of aligning in either Alt-Az for casual observation, equatorial for serious astrophotography, or dual-OTA mode for astronomy outreach with twice the impact.
