The AP mount securely supports your telescope optical tube for comfortable observation. With its friction control system, the mount can be quickly moved to your target object. A wide selection of optional accessories is available for the AP mount to meet your observation needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylish design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new stylish and smart design removes a difficult image on astronomical telescopes. Together with just 3.6kg lightweight body (without counterweight), you can easily handle full-scale astronomical telescopes. The four AA batteries for power supply are integrated inside the body and adoption of internal electrical contacts eliminates successfully external wiring which exposed to the outside in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/6029\/files\/img2_2baed457-2e6b-4e40-b3da-bf3024aeb7ee_240x240.jpg?v=1701270047\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply point the target objects by moving the optical tube by hands.
