From 0° till 70° mount

Avalon Instruments introduce the M-zero for low latitude areas to 0°. Lightweight, small dimensions the M-zero LHQ comes with four range degrees available:

  • 0° - 15°
  • 15° - 45°
  • 30° - 55°
  • 55° - 70°

The M-zero LHQ is the perfect mount for low latitude areas and traveling astronomy.

6 Dec arm positions on the RA axis are available

As well as the M-zero standard versions, the M-zero LHQ allow moving the DEC arm up and down on the RA axis in 6 different positions depending on the user setup, to allow a fine balancing by using the less counterweight possible, in most cases, with less than 1 kg/2.2 lb counterweight.

Double Telescope Setup

Thanks to the Dual-DEC system or by assembling the optional X-guider accessory, it is possible to mount a second telescope in the opposite side of the declination axis. Considering this capability it is possible to use a great range of optics starting from a small (4-5 kg/8.8-11 lb) refractor up to a double set up with a total weight of 12-13 kg/26.4-28.6 lb, obtaining performances so good to get it over the need of a bigger mount.

Zero Maintenance

The virtually zero maintenance, the long-lasting materials used, and the possibility to easily update the StarGO firmware and software allow the M-zero to be always ready to use, up to date, competitive, and extremely reliable!

Light and Strong

Made entirely from anodized aluminum, worked using 5 axes CNC machines.
The mount weighs only 6 kg/13.2 lb and, combined with the new T-Pod 90 tripod, reaches a total weight of 12 kg/26.4 lb.
