iOptron's AZ Mount Pro Head combines multiple technologies to produce a mount that requires minimal input from the user while providing full GoTo capabilities. This technology is referred to as "Level and Go" by iOptron because that's about all you need to do. Using its built-in level indicator, you simply level the mount and turn on the power. Utilizing the onboard 32-channel GPS receiver and built-in position and angular detection sensors, the mount calculates its global position as well as the telescope orientation then automatically slews to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky. All you need to do is confirm a bright object is in the center of the view, to activate tracking and GoTo functionality.
Included with the mount is the Go2Nova 8407 computer controller. This handheld unit features a 212,000-object database with 60 user-defined customizable objects for your favorite celestial bodies. The easy-to-use menu-driven system displays on an 8-line, 21-character backlit screen. This fully GoTo-capable unit has automatic tracking for fast-moving near-space objects, such as the Moon and planets, and slower moving deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. For setup or manual use it has nine slew speeds starting at 1x and topping out at 10°/sec. The Go2Nova controller is powered by the mount to make use easier and simple while reducing the unit's weight. For increased functionality, the mount is also equipped with a Wi-Fi module for wireless connectivity to smartphones, tablets, and computers.
iOptron is offering the AZ Mount Pro GoTo Alt-Az Mount here without a tripod or optical tube assembly (OTA) for users who already have them and are looking to upgrade their mount, but to protect the head during transport and storage a hard aluminum case is included.

iOptron GoTo Alt-Az Reviews
Super touchy - Alignment is CRITICAL !!
It's been only a week, set it up exactly as per instructions. Firstly I am super peeved that the tightening provisions for the dual vixen dove tail is not a knob but a lever. Who ever in the iOptron team designed this is a moron. That lever strikes the Alt-Az mount body when maneuvering the scope. Second if this scope is not perfectly aligned to the last level of accuracy it has huge variations in finding objects. Third one is that for centering objects after auto align, it works only on AZ mode and ALT does not work. Such a pain. Lastly the leveling screws plastic knob is not molded fully into the brass and if you have to adjust it the outer plastic rotates and not the brass screw . You have to re do alignment all over again. I will talk to a agent if they can be of any help.
Very pleased with the AZ mount
In general, behaves as advertized. I have to level it up and the power on. Itself it points the scope vertically and finds almost south, and try to find a usable star or planet to align to. This works fine exept for the sun. To align to the sun a more manual operation is needed. Acceptable, but not so elegant. Once alignment is done it keeps track for hours. Some sound from it, but little.
Really touchy mount
If this thing isn't leveled properly, it will not goto accurately. The device does not have a level surface on top to aid in the process, making it really tricky compared to, say, the Allview or ZEQ mounts I have. I did firmware upgrades, etc. with the same result.
there is a backlash along the horizontal axis.
I buy ioptron AZ pro mount. there is a backlash along the horizontal axis. you can move the telescope along this axis at any time. how to fix it?
