product description
Vixen's PORTA II Altazimuth Mount is the most affordable mount for grab and go observing. The mount and tripod sections are detachable for transportation and strage.
The PORTA II allows you to swing the telescope in the vertical and horizontal directions while maintaining position with simple friction. Simple friction holds the axes in the final position.
The PORTA II comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole-circle slow motion in both directions. It is useful for fine motion used in searching and tracking of celestial objects.
The "World-standard" dovetail attachment system on PORTA II originated with Vixen. This allows the PORTA II to accept various dovetail mounted optical tubes.
Features of PORTA II Altazimuth Mount
- Optical tube can be moved freely by hand and the friction holds its position anywhere you stop it. It allows you to manually point the telescope at target celestial objects you wish to view.
- With Vixen's renownend dovetail plate attachment system, many optical tubes up to 160mm in outer diameter or 5 kg (11 lb) in weight can be swapped on and off the mount.
- All the optical tubes packaged with the PORTA II come with a finder scope or a dot finder. This makes it much easier to find a target celestial object.
- The whole-circle slow motion movement of the PORTA II provides smooth telescope operation at every pointing angle. This allows a comfortable posture while using the slow motion handles for various dovetail mounted optical tubes.
- An accessory tray holds small pieces such as a camera or eyepiece. Very useful when observing at night.
- Slow-motion handle positions and the amount of frictions on the axes is adjusted with tools located in the compartment under the rubber covering. You will allways have your tools available.
