equatorial telescopehas mounting equatorialhas source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:46.0
has definition The classic type of telescope mount with one axis parallel to the Earth's polar axis (i.e. pointing at the celestial pole) and the other at right angles. Once the object is located, only the polar axis need be driven by a motor to counteract the Earth's rotation.has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:46.0
