The AZ2000 "COMBI" is basically splittable” in two parts with an additional locking system; next to the quick locking system, which is very useful to carry and assemble the mount in the field, we added a further locking system. This is meant for customers who have the mount permanently installed in an observatory. It will ensure a great long-term stability.
You can easily revert the mount into a portable (“splittable”) version simply by removing the locking screws.
The original AZ2000 was also produced in the special “Antarctica” version for the Koldewey Station for Atmospheric Research in NyAlesund on Spitsbergen, which was able to work at extreme low temperatures of -84°C (-119F). Special mechanical and electronic considerations were necessary in order to design and produce this peculiar mount. More information can be found on Baader Planetarium dome map.
The last available 10Micron AZ2000 mounts with Control Box Version 2 can now be purchased directly from stock with a 15% discount – while supplies last.
IMPORTANT: The Control Box V2 has proven itself in hundreds of observatories and in mobile use, and remains fully capable in Version 2. It will continue to be supported with firmware updates. Purchasing a mount with Control Box V2 is therefore still a secure investment. 10Micron guarantees full support and repairs – even for the first generation of QCI mounts, which were launched over 20 years ago.
