Up for sale is a Omegon AZ Baby Alt Az mount. Perfect grab and go mount for small refractors, , and spotting scopes. Will mount easily on any 3/8 inch photo tripod.
I found the mounting mechanism to be much better in Omegon AZ Baby than similar mounts from TS Optics, Altair Astro etc. as the azimuth tightening knob on the Omegon AZ is at the top. So you can securely tighten the mount to the tripod on the 3/8 inch screw and adjust the azimuth tension using the knob. In the other model the azimuth tightning is a at the bottom where the mount screws to the tripod. Very annoying as you can accidentally unscrew the mount from the tripod when you adjust the knob. Hope I am making sense!
I have used this with my ED72 and ED80 scopes and it works like a charm. Omegon claims you can also use it with a 100mm OTAs, but I haven’t tried it. There is a screw thread on the knob to attached a counter weight shaft and weights, but I did not need this for my ED72 or E80 scopes.
Mint condition, see pics below. Only selling because not getting much use since I sold my ED72 scope.
Purchased for USD199 + shipping + tax (almost $350 AUD). Asking for $220 + postage at cost. Pick-up available at Sydney CBD or upper north shore by arrangement.
Any questions, pls PM me.

Reason: Sold
I see your add is now 2 months or thereabouts old. Have you sold your Omegon AZ Baby Alt-Az mounts? It reminds me of the Dwarf star mount which I love. I would be interested in buying it if you still have it for sale.
