| Scopes with altazimuth mounts are easy to set up and use, and require no special expertise to use properly. |
| Even with this disadvantage, the altazimuth mounting will be the primary mounting for very large telescopes to be constructed in the future. |
| On his return home he settled at Westbury, where he erected an altazimuth by Troughton, with a two-and-a-half-foot circle. |
| While the altitude axis of an altazimuth mount may bend, the bending is constant and can be compensated by realignment of the tube or optics. |
| This is an altazimuth theodolite of an improved pattern now used on the Ordnance Survey. |
| The altazimuth can thus determine the altitude and azimuth of objects, hence the name. |
