In its Alt\/Az configuration, it is considerably more compact than its equatorial counterpart, allowing a larger telescope to fit in a smaller enclosure. Unlike traditional German Equatorial mounts, there are no meridian flips to deal with, and no large protruding counterweights to create a dangerous hazard in a public observatory. Alt\/Az is more intuitive to use and no polar alignment is needed. Besides, it is the way the pros do it! For added flexibility, the L-Series mounts can be installed in either Alt\/Az or equatorial mode with the optional wedge accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eL-600 Mount Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad capacity of 300 lbs (135 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-drive motors on each axis for smooth, fast, and virtually silent movement of the telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlew speeds up to 50 degrees per second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution encoders on each axis for precise positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero backlash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero periodic error\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePointXP mount modeling software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosed electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough the mount cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-collapse: separate; background-color: #ffffff; width: 1078px; border: 1px solid #dddddd; border-radius: 3px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" width=\"780\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background: #eeeeee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 2px 5px;\" width=\"208\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; color: inherit; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; color: inherit; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.5em; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDirect-drive motors and encoders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 2px 5px;\" width=\"374\" valign=\"top\"\u003eDirect-drive motors and on-axis encoders eliminate the need for gears, thereby eliminating backlash and periodic error.
