BRESSER Twilight I Alt-Azimuth Mount with Tripod
The Twilight I is a light-to-medium-duty alt-azimuth mount with tripod, designed to quickly and easily accept small to medium-sized refractors such as the AR102, AR127s, ED102mm, ED127, and the ED80mm. Lightweight, fast Newtonians will also pair nicely with the BRESSER Twilight I mount. As long as your telescope does not exceed 18 pounds and has a Vixen-Style Universal Dovetail bar for mounting, you are good to go.
The Twilight I alt-azimuth mount head is made of powder-coated aluminum and features worm gears on both axes. The adjustable angle head can be tilted forward or back at a 45° angle to allow more clearance for your telescope, enabling you to point it straight up for zenith viewing. The Allen hex wrench for adjusting the mount head can be safely stored in the integrated magnetic holder.
Slow-motion control cables are attached on the vertical and horizontal axes, and are easy to turn during the night, even with gloves on, thanks to the oversized knurled knobs at the end of each cable. They can be attached to either side of each axis to accommodate right or left-handed users, or different types of telescopes (e.g., refractors vs. Newtonian reflectors) for ease of adjustment.
The stainless steel tripod that comes standard with the Twilight I mount has adjustable legs and a wide footprint of 42 inches, enhancing stability. A spreader bar locks against the inside of the legs to secure the tripod further and minimize vibrations.
