Optimized Product Description for the AXJ Mount

AXJ Equatorial Mount: Precision Engineering for Stellar Performance

The AXJ mount is engineered to complement the AXD2 equatorial mount, offering unparalleled durability, precision, and versatility for astrophotography and stargazing enthusiasts.

With the STAR BOOK TEN controller, this mount provides advanced periodic error correction (V-PEC), factory-calibrated to ensure ±4.0 arc-second accuracy right out of the box. Unlike older systems, the STAR BOOK TEN saves periodic error data permanently, allowing you to further refine tracking accuracy by recording your own corrections.

  • Factory-Calibrated V-PEC: Delivers accurate tracking with minimal setup.
  • Belt-Drive System: Replaces traditional gear drives to reduce backlash, minimize noise, and improve responsiveness.
  • Superior Tracking Accuracy: Set stars with precision to within ±3 arc minutes.

The 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed, providing easy configuration for both the northern and southern hemispheres. Its adjustable illuminated reticle, with 8 brightness levels and auto power-off, ensures optimal visibility during alignment.

Built for High-Performance Astronomy:

  • Load Capacity: Supports up to 22 kg, ideal for heavy telescopes and equipment.
  • Efficient Weight Distribution: Innovative design requires fewer counterweights.
  • STAR BOOK TEN Database: Access over 272,000 celestial objects, including SAO stars, Messier objects, and planets.

Designed for advanced users and professionals, the AXJ mount seamlessly integrates precision engineering with intuitive operation. Pair it with the AXD-TR102 tripod (adapter required) to create a robust and portable setup for your astronomical pursuits.

Elevate your stargazing experience with the AXJ mount — precision, durability, and cutting-edge technology in one package.
