All the perfect optical components in the world are of little use if they are mounted on a filmsy, wobbly mount. A mount must be solid, lack flexure and move smoothly from object to object. Alt-azimuth mounts have controls to point the telescope about the vertical and horizontal axes. The AZ3 has flexible cable slow motion controls and is suitable for both land and astro telescopes.
