Mount Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 The tripod is a good, heavy, stable one. https://www.manfrotto.com/us-en/055-aluminum-3-section-tripod-with-horizontal-column-mt055xpro3/ https://www.manfrotto.com/us-en/055-aluminum-3-section-tripo... The head is https://www.skywatcherusa.com/collections/star-adventurer/products/star-adventurer-pro-pack https://www.skywatcherusa.com/collections/star-adventurer/pr... which is a bit more fancy than the old school equatorial mounts.... but Star Adventurer 2i multi-function equatorial tracking mount with built-in Wi-Fi control It's still an equatorial mount. https://astrobackyard.com/equatorial-telescope-mount/ https://astrobackyard.com/equatorial-telescope-mount/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_mount https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_mount You adjust the base to the latitude that you are at so that the mount can rotate to match the Earth's rotation on one axis, and then the other axises can track ascension and declination - which remain constant in the sky. This differs from the altazimuth mount ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount ) where a celestial object is that that location now, but moves. Sirius is at 06h 45m 08s RA and -16° 42’ 57”... but as I type this, as seen from Greenwich, United Kingdom it would be at -27.4° altitude (below the horizon), 277.5° azimuth - and that coordinate system moves.
