A solid mount with a robust base for a huge payload capability, can handle 25” telescopes also in double telescope configuration
A suitable solution for fixed location or observatory with high payload telescopes.
With the High Resolution ABSOLUTE ENCODER on both RA/DEC axis, is possible to have accurate pointing and keep the mount orientation also after a shutdown.
Entirely made in anodized aluminium machined with high precision CNC machines, the internal Belt Drive System composed by special polymer fiberglass pulleys and high precision timing belts allow a tracking without sudden spikes, without backlash allowing at the same time a long lasting product, without requiring maintenance.
The mount is controlled by the StarGo2 Pro, a real All in one astrophotografic setup management system for Mount, CCD cameras, Focuser and comes with the following features:
