AOK compact alt-az mount

For sale is an excellent compact alt-az mount in very good condition. I hate to sell it but I finally found a Stellarvue M2.

This is the original AYO Traveler mount made by AOK in Switzerland. It was later replaced by the Vamo Traveler but I prefer this design as it's more compact.

It has a Vixen saddle and 3/8"-16 thread at the bottom. There is a short (10cm) column that can be screwed on that allows it to fit onto an EQ-5 style mount. The column is shown in photo #5.

Tension can be adjusted by grub screws in each disk for different payloads as well as the black knobs. I've been using it with a C6 SCT and 4" f/5 refractor (see last picture) and it works brilliantly. It would handle a typical 4" f/7 refractor as well.

Here's an old thread about using one with a Tak Sky 90 for travel: https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/...d.php?t=117219

Asking $300.

Enquiries by PM please.
