Economical, Lightweight & Portable up to 7kg/15.4lb Loads This economical version of the GP mount comes standard with R.A. and Decl. slow-motion control knobs but without the setting circles and polar axis scope. The body is the same as that of the GP model and incorporates the same 114-toothworm gears. It is a good buy for the beginning visual observer wishing to become familiar with equatorial mounts. Simple polar alignment can be made with the altitude/azimuth adjustments and polar axis hole. It can be accessorized as desired to match the GP mount. Comes with 3.7-kg (8-lb) counter weight. Setting circles, polar axis scope, and motor drives are optional. Telescopes mount securely with locking bolt and safety screw system on standard dovetails (see illustration this page).
