WHAT DOES ALTAZIMUT MEAN IN GERMAN?

altazimuth

Altazimuth or azimuthal mount is the simplest type of astronomical telescope mount, where the telescope can be pivoted around a vertical standing axis and a horizontal tilting axis in all directions. Its counterpart is the equatorial mount, in which the primary axis is not vertical but parallel to the axis of the earth. The name Altazimut, which is also abbreviated Altaz in English, is composed of alt for altitude and azimuth. Azimuthal mountings have been used for astronomical and geodetic instruments since antiquity because of their robust, simple construction. According to the invention of astronomical telescopes they were also used for these since about 1620 and increasingly perfected until the 18th century. They were then replaced by the equatorial and / or parallactic mount; Only with the modern large telescopes, whose mirror diameters range from 6 to 20 meters, one returned around 1980 for reasons of the mechanical stability to this earlier construction method.

Definition of Altazimut in the German dictionary
