German equatorial mount

A German equatorial mount is a sophisticated device used to support and aim telescopes. It has two main axes: one aligned with Earth's axis of rotation and another perpendicular to it. This setup allows the telescope to track celestial objects smoothly by rotating along the aligned axis, making it easier to observe planets, stars, and deep-sky objects over time. The mount simplifies the process of following objects as Earth turns, providing stability and precision for astronomers and astrophotographers, especially during long observation sessions or imaging. It’s a reliable tool for both amateur and professional astronomy.
