Those are the ones I have on my TW 1 now. It would be great if they fit the SW AZ. I'll ask Serge, thanks.

I'm late to the party, but in dead of winter, I've observed with my 80mm and 120mm scopes through my dining room window. And I mean through the glass with the window closed. Not ideal, but better than sitting outside in -10 F weather.

Nikon Aculon 10x50s, Celestron Skymaster 15x70s, WWII vintage US Navy 7x50s. I'm considering replacing the Skymasters with Oberwerks as they have never been quite in collimation. Love the 70mm and 15x though.

Simple Az Setting Circle and Wixey on a SkyTee2

Before I put encoders on my Twilight 1, I used the same set-up. I purchased a printed round angle gauge for the AZ though and glued it onto a thin round piece of craftwood. It worked pretty well as long as the mount was level and I zero adjusted the Wixey. Much less expensive than encoders! -
Curious if there are encoders available for the SW AZ5 (green accent band). I have a Twilight 1 with encoders and they're listed as compatible with an AZ5, but I believe that's the "other" AZ5, i.e. a TW1 clone and not the SkyWatcher. Thanks!
