1. HAE69 Overview
Introducing the new members of the iOptron strain wave gear mount family - AZ/EQ dual mount
HAE69 and HAE69EC! These light weight, compact, medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy
experience like never before. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the
HAE brings this vision to reality.
Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAEs
deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not
only appealing to the eye, it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to
come. Unique features such as an electronic friction brake and power down memory allow the mount to
safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to
realign and start from the beginning).
An HAE mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC
or a third party INDI driver for a MacOS software; a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an
App like SkySafari; or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
The HAE69EC features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy,
enough that many will choose to image “sans” guiding.
