    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_coordinate_system

    Therefore, the horizontal coordinate system is sometimes called the az/el system, [1] the alt/az system, or the alt-azimuth system, among others. In an altazimuth mount of a telescope , the instrument's two axes follow altitude and azimuth.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_coordinate...

    The equatorial describes the sky as seen from the Solar System, and modern star maps almost exclusively use equatorial coordinates. The equatorial system is the normal coordinate system for most professional and many amateur astronomers having an equatorial mount that follows the movement of the sky during the night. Celestial objects are found ...

    William Herschel's 49-inch (1,200 mm) 40-foot telescope on an altazimuth mount. Altazimuth, altitude-azimuth, or alt-az mounts allow telescopes to be moved in altitude (up and down), or azimuth (side to side), as separate motions. This mechanically simple mount was used in early telescope designs and until the second half of the 20th century ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount

    An altazimuth mount or alt-azimuth mount is a simple two-axis mount for supporting and rotating an instrument about two perpendicular axes – one vertical and the other horizontal. Rotation about the vertical axis varies the azimuth (compass bearing) of the pointing direction of the instrument.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestron

    The predecessor of Celestron was Valor Electronics, an electronics and military components firm founded in 1955 by Tom Johnson. [1] [2] [3] Johnson became involved with telescopes when he built a 6" reflecting telescope for his two sons. [2] In 1960, Johnson established the "Astro-Optical" division of Valor, which would later become Celestron. [3]

  7. 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.
