An alternative is to convert the movement into rotation around two axes with different orientations, for example rotation around a horizontal and a vertical axis. This type of mounting is often called the alt-azimuth mount ... The azimuth is the arc between the meridian and the vertical circle of the sun ... An alt-azimuth mount is achieved by means of a gimbal mechanism or by rotating the whole pedestal around its axis and simultaneously tilting the mirror. 2, record 2, English, - altazimuth%20mounting
