  2. Telescope mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope_mount

    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. [7]

  3. Altazimuth mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount

    In the largest telescopes, the mass and cost of an equatorial mount is prohibitive and they have been superseded by computer-controlled altazimuth mounts. [5] The simple structure of an altazimuth mount allows significant cost reductions, in spite of the additional cost associated with the more complex tracking and image-orienting mechanisms. [6]

  4. Equatorial mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_mount

    A large German equatorial mount on the Forststernwarte Jena 50cm Cassegrain reflector telescope. An equatorial mount is a mount for instruments that compensates for Earth's rotation by having one rotational axis, called polar axis, parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation. [1] [2] This type of mount is used for astronomical telescopes and cameras.

  5. Horizontal coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_coordinate_system

    [5] The following are two independent horizontal angular coordinates: Altitude (alt. or altitude angle [b]), sometimes referred to as elevation (el. or elevation angle [c]) or apparent height, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. For visible objects, it is an angle between 0° and 90°.
