Product description

More about the series Advanced Polaris...

This azimuthal mount from the top-quality Advanced Polaris range from Vixen holds your lens securely and allows you to finely adjust the tracking of your target object. This is achieved thanks to six bearings and 58.4 millimeter diameter worm gears.

The mount is equipped with an adjustable friction stop mechanism. So you can target an object simply by pushing the telescope tube in the correct direction with your hand. Knobs allow for the fine adjustment and tracking. Operation is completely intuitive and simple.

But best of all is the modular attachment system: you can replace the friction stop mechanisms at any time with Advanced Polaris optional motors. The high-quality Vixen design is compatible with motorisation: the power cables and batteries for the motors are completely built-in. The convenient advantage of the friction stop mechanism is retained even with the motor modules.

The control is then performed using the Star Book One hand control box. The illustration on the right shows this optional expandability of the APZ mount.

The lightweight, but very stable APP-TL130 tripod from Vixen is very well suited to the APZ.
