Key benefits

Portable performance — approx. 4.1 kg mount head with high-torque harmonic gearing.
Versatile operation — choose EQ mode for long-exposure imaging or Alt-Az for visual/EAA.
Clean cable management — on-saddle power and data minimise cable drag and snag risk.
Dual-standard saddle — supports Vixen and Losmandy dovetails.
Field-ready adjustments — smooth altitude and azimuth controls for quick alignment.

FAQs

Do I need a counterweight?

Most setups up to around 8 kg work counterweight-free. For heavier imaging trains or improved wind performance, use the M12 bar and a ≤ 5 kg counterweight (≤ 25 cm bar length).

Can I switch between EQ and Alt-Az?

Yes. Use EQ mode for long-exposure astrophotography and Alt-Az mode for visual or EAA. Switching modes is fast and doesn’t affect portability.

What periodic error should I expect?

Typical periodic error is ≤ ±15 arcseconds with a ~288-second cycle. Good balance and accurate polar alignment help optimise guiding.

Will my dovetail fit?

Yes — the dual saddle supports both Vixen and Losmandy dovetail plates.

What’s improved in AM3N?

The AM3N adds integrated saddle I/O, ergonomic tweaks, magnetic tool storage, and minor mechanical refinements while retaining the trusted AM3 performance.
