About the Twilight I

The Twilight I is Explore Scientific's adjustable-angle manual alt-azimuth mount, rated for an 18 lb telescope. Worm gears on both axes give fine, steady slow-motion control, and the head's adjustable 45-degree tilt lets a straight-through refractor reach the zenith without the eyepiece ending up under the tripod. At 16.7 lb (7.6 kg) assembled with a 36″–53″ height range to the mounting bracket, it's a true grab-and-go mount — no power, no alignment, just point and observe. Ideal for short and medium refractors, small Maksutovs, spotting scopes and outreach nights.

See the new Twilight I listing for full specifications.
