Constructed from black anodized aluminum with stainless steel components, the Losmandy AZ8 Altitude-Azimuth mount features fine needle bearings and high-quality 7075 aluminum worm gears to ensure smooth, precise, and controlled motions. Accurate maneuvering of both axes is achieved with two slow-motion knobs and 3.5" laser-engraved setting circles simplify setup and tracking.
