Product description
The Sky-Watcher 120/600 AZ Pronto combines a large aperture with compact dimensions. The achromatic refractor optical design delivers bright images and a wide field of view, making it suitable for observing large deep-sky objects as well as panoramic terrestrial scenes.
The AZ Pronto mount is constructed from cast aluminium and offers stable operation while remaining lightweight and highly portable. Two flexible slow-motion cables provide smooth fine adjustment in both vertical and horizontal axes. The cables can be mounted in different positions for convenient operation with both refractor and reflector telescopes.
The mount can also be moved manually on both axes for rapid panning and elevation adjustments. It is suitable for visual astronomy, nature observation, and daytime terrestrial viewing.
