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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ontariotelescope.com\/products\/twilight-i-mount\"\u003enew Twilight I listing\u003c\/a\u003e for full specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis item is sold as a Final Sale.\u003c\/strong\u003e All used equipment sales are final.
