   Alt-alt mounts, or altitude-altitude mounts, are designs similar to horizontal equatorial yoke mounts or Cardan suspension gimbals. This mount is an alternative to the altazimuth mount that has the advantage of not having a blind spot near the zenith, and for objects near the celestial equator the field rotation is minimized.

6. Equatorial platform - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_platform

   This type of mount has been a popular retrofit for altazimuth mounted telescopes, such as the common Dobsonian telescope type, adding equatorial tracking for high magnification work and astrophotography. The motion of the mount allows any device sitting on that platform to track the apparent motion of the stars in the night sky (diurnal motion).
