Astro Tutorial #1.11: Telescope Mounts - ALT/AZ vs EQ

Hey folks,
in today's video we will take a look at the most important part of our gear:

-The Mount-

I do stress that a lot in this video – but I can’t stress this enough:

A proper and solid mount – capable of carrying your scope with ease – will not only be useful. It will be essential to your ongoing journey to the skies. Never underestimate that.
You might have bought a good optic on top. But if your mount can’t serve it well, every image will be lost and no data can be acquired. So: prioritize the mount over the optic!

In this video we will unveil different mount types – how they work and how to use them.
It will be about: ALT/AZ Mounts vs EQ Mounts

In the end you will hopefully be able to judge the overwhelming variety of mounts out there.
Clear skies everyone and till next time here on catchingphotons!

Chris
