Grab ‘n Go Alt-Azimuth Alternative to Clumsy Mounts

A telescope can be no better than the mount.  Among grab ‘n go telescope mounts, the CNC-machined Half Hitch is in a class by itself, featuring amazing rigidity and ultra-smooth motion controls that are free of backlash and starting friction.  The Half Hitch alt-az mount uniquely combines free motions of the axes with the precision tracking of motion controls.  For visual observing, the nimble Half Hitch alt-az mount offers an efficient, cost-effective alternative to cumbersome equatorial mounts and fussy GoTo alt-az mounts.  It weighs only 7.5 pounds complete with dovetail plate, Sky Commander DSC, Balance Trimmer, and finder bracket, yet it is rigid enough to carry many 115 mm APO refractors or some 8-inch Newtonians.

The Half Hitch alt-az telescope mount tightly integrates every function needed for visual grab ‘n go astronomy.  It’s a complete mounting system compressed into one convenient package — designed to complement and enhance the finest optical systems for the best observing experience.  Some alt-az mounts have lower prices, but none deliver as much overall value as the Half Hitch.  The Half Hitch is also easy to operate and maintain so that a novice astronomer seeking high quality equipment can quickly master and use it to full advantage.
