Teh EQ2 mount:

This equatorial mount already provides the possibility to align optics to the pole star. The correct latitude can be set for each observation location. With fine movements in the right ascension and declination axis, objects can be sensitively adjusted and tracked, a counterweight ensures the exact balancing of the optics. Smaller telescopes are already stable and vibration-free on this mount.

The aluminum tripod is extendable and adjustable in height, a tray provides space for eyepieces and other accessories. The second smallest of the EQ mounts is extremely lightweight, compact and fits in almost any travel bag. It is easy to set up by any beginner and can be used just as easily by children.
