Twilight Alt-Azimuth Telescope Mounts
Explore Scientific Twilight mounts are smooth, sturdy alt-azimuth mounts designed for visual observing with refractors and small telescopes. With intuitive up-down and left-right motion and slow-motion controls for fine adjustments, Twilight mounts make it easy to find and follow the Moon, planets, star clusters and daytime targets.
The Twilight I features an adjustable-angle head and light-to-medium duty capacity, making it a favorite for grab-and-go refractors, while Twilight tripods in medium-duty and heavy-duty versions provide a stable foundation for a range of telescope sizes. Because Twilight mounts require no polar alignment or power, you can be observing within minutes of stepping outside.
Twilight mounts are ideal for apochromatic refractors used for visual observing, outreach events and travel, as well as for beginners learning the sky. Pair your Twilight mount with a dielectric star diagonal and wide-field eyepiece for comfortable, immersive views. For simple, dependable manual observing, an Explore Scientific Twilight mount is a proven choice.
