This is a video recording of a talk about the Modern Alt-Az mount held at The Practical Astronomy Show in March 2019. Actually the recording was made a few weeks later when I repeated the talk at The Astronomical Society of Copenhagen. Unfortunately the video quality is not perfect but I hope it can be useful anyway.
The video is rather long so here are the timing if you want to jump to certain sections:
- Introduction
- My Journey into amateur astronomy (01:24)
- Comparison of Polar aligned and Alt-Az Mounts (05:05)
- Summing up the Comparison (19:12)
- Alt-Az short exposure Astrophotography (20:39)
- Alt-Az long exposure Astrophotography (30:41)
- Summing up (38:30)
