Hi guys, how do you "transform" a eq mount to an altazimuth mount? I have a little problem using eq mount navigating the skies due to its unability to polar align. All help will be appreciated

Hello,
You cannot "transform" an EQ mount to an AZ mount, unless you are specifically referring to the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 mount.

the old Vixen Polaris can also be transformed into an alt-az mount.

Any equatorial can be "turned" into an altaz mount. In SG just adjust polar alignment 0 degrees and you have an altaz mount
