• TPoint™ module with Super
Model™ and ProTrack™
provides unmatched telescope
pointing and tracking
accuracy.
• The Weather module reports
the temperature, wind speed,
and other weather-related
data from supported weather
stations.
Research-grade right ascension gears with
seven (7) arcsecond or less peak-to-peak
periodic error before training PEC.
1
Optimal periodic error correction curve
fitting that can produce “seeing
indifferent” periodic error curves.
1
Direct Guide™ allows optimal guiding
without a guider cable.
The hour angle and declination axes
include mechanical switches to easily
disengage the worm for balancing the
payload and engage the worm for normal
operation.
Clutch-free worm block design preserves
the mount’s physical orientation for
accurate and repeatable TPoint modeled
pointing and tracking.
1
The control system’s right ascension and
declination axes can be configured to slew
and track over a wide dynamic range of
tracking rates.
Configurable acceleration and
deceleration rates during slews.
Integrated homing sensors allow rapid
mount initialization to produce precision
