Baader BP 60 azimuthal mount
The BP 60 is a small azimuthal mount that sits on a very stable wooden tripod. It offers smooth, continuous fine-tunig in altitude and azimuth. Clamps on both axes make it possible to rapidly zero in on observational targets. Instruments can be mounted via a standard 1/4-inch photo screw thread.
