About this product

Model:  sightron_altaz_black
Part Number:  SJ-ALTAZ B

This new high-quality Alt-Azimuth mount is manufactured in Japan by Sightron.

It provides great flexibility and can be operated in three different modes.

  • Conventional Alt-Azimuth
  • Single Fork
  • German Equatorial (requires an EQ Wedge)

With a maximum payload of 7kg and weighing only 1.45 kg, this highly portable mount is ideal for small to medium-sized telescopes.

Available in either black or silver anodising with a Vixen-style Saddle Clamp and two slow-motion handles.

This sturdy mount folds down to 240 x 80 x 90 mm, making it perfect for travel.

Movements are smooth and precise, enabling fine control of your telescope. 

A standard 3/8" tripod thread is situated on the base of the mount, thus ensuring its compatibility with a wide variety of tripods.

The Saddle Clamp can be removed to leave 2 x M6 threaded holes at 35mm centres.

This mount also has the advantage of operating in EQ mode, which, together with slow motion control, enables observation at high powers.

NOTE: For EQ use, you need an EQ wedge. We recommend the William Optics Wedge

Lovely mount
28 October 2023  | 

Bought this to replace an AZ5. In short; it’s worth the extra money. Butter-smooth, with no hint of sticky backlash. It is a little steadier too and so light in weight. Handles an 80ed, easily and very sure it would carry a 90 or maybe a 102mm too. It is a considerable outlay compared to some mounts but worth it for the lovely feel and smooth movement.
