Sky-Watcher AZ5 Deluxe: a light, precise alt-azimuth frame that's perfect for grab-and-go.<\/h3>\n

Visit Sky-Watcher AZ5 Deluxe<\/strong> is an alt-azimuth mount designed for astronomers looking for an alt-azimuth solution. simple, lightweight, quick to install and easy to use<\/strong>. Genuine frame grab-and-go<\/strong>, It is suitable for both visual astronomical observation and daytime terrestrial observation.<\/p>\n

Compact, elegant and made of cast aluminum<\/strong>, The AZ5 combines portability, robustness and precision. It's ideal for users who want to get out and observe quickly, without complex installation.<\/p>\n

A frame designed for simplicity<\/h3>\n

The Sky-Watcher AZ5 operates on a alt-azimutal<\/strong>, with two natural movements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Altitude<\/strong> up \/ down<\/li>\n
  • Azimut<\/strong> left \/ right<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This configuration allows you to point intuitively at any target, without the need for polarization or complicated adjustments. Simply set up the tripod, attach the optical tube and start observing.<\/p>\n

    It's particularly well-suited to beginners, nomadic observers and experienced astronomers who want a second mount that's quick to get out and about.<\/p>\n

    Remarkable precision with slow movements<\/h3>\n

    The AZ5 deluxe comes with two flexible slow-motion cables<\/strong>, one for each axis. These enable extremely useful fine adjustments at high magnification.<\/p>\n

    You can easily keep track of :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The Moon<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • The planets<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Birds or distant planes<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Ground moving objects<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The mechanical system uses a 96-tooth helical worm gear<\/strong> on both axes, guaranteeing smoothness, precision and excellent mechanical strength.<\/p>\n

      Quick manual moves<\/h3>\n

      In addition to the micrometric controls, the mount can be moved manually on both axes<\/strong> for quick repositioning.<\/p>\n

      This dual approach is particularly practical:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Move quickly to a new target<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Precise adjustment with slow cables<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The AZ5 therefore offers both speed and precision in a very simple format.<\/p>\n

        Compatible with many instruments<\/h3>\n

        The mount accepts telescopes and scopes up to 5 kg payload<\/strong>. It is compatible with tubes fitted with a 45 mm Sky-Watcher \/ Vixen standard dovetail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Ideal for :<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Small glasses from 70 to 102 mm<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Maksutov 90 \/ 102 \/ 127 mm<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Newton compact lightweight<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Land spotting scopes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Its fork arm features two adjustable positions<\/strong>, This allows the frame to be adapted to different tube formats.<\/p>\n

          Wide range of motion<\/h3>\n

          The frame offers continuous rotation of :<\/p>\n

            \n
          • 360\u00b0 in azimuth<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • -50\u00b0 to +90\u00b0 at altitude<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This wide range of movement makes it possible to observe close to the horizon as well as pointing at the zenith.<\/p>\n

            Adjustable tripod for easy transport<\/h3>\n

            The AZ5 is supplied with a telescopic aluminium tripod<\/strong> whose legs lock into place at the desired height thanks to integrated clamps.<\/p>\n

            Total height including frame (excluding optical tube) varies from :<\/p>\n

              \n
            • 86.5 cm to 158 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              A 21.5 cm extension tube<\/strong> is included to improve ergonomics depending on the instrument used.<\/p>\n

              With a total weight of only 4.9 kg<\/strong>, The whole unit is easy to transport.<\/p>\n
