M-tre - StarGo2 Pro

AVALON EXCLUSIVE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM

HIGH RESOLUTION ABSOLUTE ENCODER ON BOTH RA/DEC AXIS

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.

DUAL DEC

Thanks to the Dual Dec option, it is possible to use the second telescope as a counterweight itself, allowing a significative reduction of the counterweights use.

The possibilities to move the DEC arm towards the RA axis (with the same mechanism and concept of the M-zero, M-uno and M-due mounts), facilitate the balancing procedure allowing to use as less as counterweight possible or even without any counterweight at all.

Slew Speed:  up to 10° / sec

NO MERIDIAN FLIP
