The telescope at University of Athens Observatory is loaded on a robust equatorial fork mount, constructed by DFM Engineering.

The main characteristics of the telescope mount are:

• RA and DEC axes are driven by DC servo motor/encoders for fast response and low power consumption.
• Combination of steel and aluminum construction for responsive and long lasting performance.
• Tracking accuracy: ±2.0 arc seconds in 2 minutes, ±20.0 arc sec in 1 hour.
• Pointing accuracy (with refraction and alignment correction) better than 1 arc minute RMS.
• Optical incremental position encoder drives are independent of the motor drives to provide excellent pointing.
• Cool operation - very low heat generation at telescope (less than 10 Watts average).
• High acceleration and deceleration rates for fast pointing to the object.
• Variable SLEW, SET, GUIDE and TRACK rates: 0 to 4 deg/sec.
• Pedestal allowing elevation and azimuth adjustments for polar alignment.
• A total of 20 kg of load can be mounted on Cassegrain focus, after balancing the optical tube with the equivalent counterweight.
