"..Adjustments in both altazimuth (AZ) and equatorial (EQ) modes are smooth and it’s easy to keep objects centred in the field of view.." - BBC Sky at Night magazine
You will enjoy the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ Avant thanks to its convenient portability and easy-to-use operation.
The AZ-EQ Avant mount with the P114N tube (for illustration only):
The AZ-EQ Avant mount with the Skymax 102 Mak tube (for illustration only):
The well-engineered and easy to use AZ-EQ Avant mounting provides excellent stability and precise control in either alt-azimuth or equatorial configurations, via its smooth slow motion controls located on both axes. The slow motion control knobs can be conveniently positioned at either end of both the R.A. or DEC axis shafts.
This extended version of the AZ-EQ Avant mount also comes with an extension pier so there will be enough clearance for the tube and counterweight as the scope points to difficult part of the skies.
The Avant mount also works in Altazimuth mode, allowing it to be used for terrestrial (bird and nature watching) in the day time:
The AZ-EQ Avant mount can also be upgraded with an RA motor for tracking objects (autoguiding) in the sky, and also for longer exposure astrophotography.

About Sky-Watcher
Sky-Watcher was launched in 1999 featuring a modest line of Newtonian and refractor optical tubes, with distribution in Europe and Asia. In 2000, Sky-Watcher released their first series of Dobsonian telescopes, and two years later answered the rising popularity of digital SLRs with their first version of the famed German Equatorial Mount, the EQ6. Today, with a full product line that includes Dobsonians, APO refractors, EQ mounts, and photography products, Sky-Watcher has grown into the most popular telescope brand worldwide.
