This orientation option is used for terrestrial observation should you decide to look at this planet for awhile. This is also the preferred mode for astronomical applications if you use the optional Autostar controller for automatic object location and tracking. "Altazimuth" (alt/az) is a combination of the word "altitude" meaning vertical and the word "azimuth" meaning horizontal. So, "Altazimuth" simply means that the telescope can move in both vertical and horizontal directions. With the tripod in altazimuth orientation, Autostar can move the telescope on both axis simultaneously to find the object you wish to view even faster.
For added versatility and greater viewing comfort, this tripod is also adjustable from 25" to 43". You can easily set it up for your own height as well as having the option of viewing from a standing or seated position.
Tripod with attached tilt-plate and latitude adjustment control with latch. Two attachment knobs for attaching an ETX telescope to the tilt plate. Spreader tray (not pictured), separate spring, two washers and tension knobs to attach tray to tripod. Three leg extension lock knobs. Deluxe padded nylon carry bag with adjustable shoulder strap.
