THE ALTAZIMUTH MOUNT 

 
The C90T telescope is fitted with an Altazimuth mount. “Altitude" refers to the 
vertical, or “up and down” movement of the telescope, while "Azimuth" refers to the 
horizontal, or “side-to side” movement. 
 
 

ABOUT MAGNIFICATION 

 

The magnification power of a telescope indicates how much an image is enlarged or how 
big and close it appears to the viewer. The focal length of the eyepiece, combined with 
the focal length of the telescope, determine the magnification power. To calculate the
