Lightweight and highly portable alt-azimuth mount for astronomical and terrestrial observation with a 3 kg payload capacity. The Sky-Watcher AZ Pronto features slow-motion controls on both axes, a 45 mm saddle and an extendable aluminium tripod.
Designed for simple and portable use, the Sky-Watcher AZ Pronto is a cast-aluminium alt-azimuth mount intended for small telescopes weighing up to 3 kg and fitted with a compatible 45 mm dovetail bar.
Its lightweight and highly portable design makes it suitable for both astronomical viewing and daytime terrestrial observation.
Two flexible slow-motion cables are supplied, one for vertical movement and one for horizontal movement. They provide smooth and precise adjustment during observation.
The slow-motion cables can each be installed in two different positions on their respective axes, allowing convenient operation with both refractor and reflector telescopes.
Both axes can also be moved manually for rapid panning and elevation changes.
3 kg Payload Capacity
The AZ Pronto has a payload capacity of 3 kg.
It is designed for small telescopes fitted with a compatible 45 mm dovetail bar.
45 mm Sky-Watcher Vixen Saddle
The mount features a saddle compatible with 45 mm Sky-Watcher/Vixen-type dovetail bars.
Slow-Motion Control on Both Axes
Two flexible cables provide precise control:
• One cable for vertical movement
• One cable for horizontal movement
Each cable can be positioned in two different locations on its axis.
Helical Worm Gear Drive
The mount uses a helical worm gear drive.
The gears feature:
• Azimuth axis : 180 teeth
• Altitude axis : 116 teeth
Rapid Manual Movement
Both axes can also be moved manually.
This allows the instrument to be repositioned quickly before using the slow-motion controls for precise final adjustment.
Movement Range
Mount movement range is:
• Azimuth : Continuous 360° rotation
• Altitude : -70° to +90°
21.5 cm Extension Tube
A 21.5 cm extension tube is supplied.
It increases the distance between the mount head and tripod.
3/8-Inch Threaded Connections
The mount uses 3/8-inch threaded connections.
Extendable Aluminium Tripod
This version is supplied with an extendable aluminium tripod.
The tripod legs can be extended and locked at the required position using their integral leg locks.
An accessory tray is also supplied.
Adjustable Height from 78.5 to 150 cm
Overall mount and tripod height, excluding the optical tube, can be adjusted from 78.5 to 150 cm.
Total Weight of 3.85 kg
Total overall weight is 3.85 kg.
This relatively low weight makes the system easy to transport and set up for astronomical or terrestrial observation.
