Rowan Astronomy AZ75 Alt-Azimuth Mount
The Rowan AZ75 is like a miniature version of the AZ100 but without slow-motion controls. One may think of it as a dual mount version of our venerable Stellarvue M002C mount both in its lighter capacity and function. It operates using friction clutches to control the drag in place of the slow-motion controls used on the AZ100 mounts.
CNC machined and black anodised finished and fitted with stainless steel hardware. Features include adjustable friction clutches on both axis for smooth push-to observing. 32mm diameter aluminium axis shafts supported in high quality ball and taper bearings. Load capacity is 15 kg each side depending on scope length. Top elevation axis lock for eyepiece changes.
Mount weight 4.1kg
Mount weight with 2 x V saddles 4.4kg
Mount base can be supplied with option for M12, M10 or 3/8" unc tapped hole to attach to tripods.
*AZ75 is compatible with AZ100 saddles*
