An altazimuth mount is a type of telescope mount that allows for two axes of movement: altitude (up and down) and azimuth (left and right). This design makes it easy to point the telescope at celestial objects by simply moving it in these two directions. Altazimuth mounts are popular among amateur astronomers for their simplicity and ease of use. These mounts can be manual or motorized, with motorized versions often featuring tracking capabilities to follow objects as they move across the sky. They are commonly used with various telescopes, including refractors and reflectors, making them versatile for different observing needs.
