The control system supports a wide
dynamic range for slewing and
tracking rates. Virtually any slew
speed is available between zero
and several degrees per second.
Configurable acceleration and
deceleration rates during slews.
Integrated homing sensors that
allow rapid mount initialization to
produce precision and reliable
repeatability from night to night, or
if power is lost.
Super-stable physical design that
rapidly dampens external
vibrations.
Configurable software slewing
limits prevent damage to the
mount and telescope by slowly
decelerating to limit regions.
Clutch-free design ensures
consistent pointing and tracking
from night to night.
Fifty individual through the mount
cabling conductors that help
minimize the tedium of having CCD
power, CCD signal, focus, video,
dew heater, and other accessory
cables routed to the telescope.
Integrated Cable Conduit™ allows
adding custom cables, wires
through the mount.
Integrated rotating base allows
calibrated azimuth adjustments to
be made without affecting the
mount’s altitude.
Integrated altitude scale to provide
an accurate altitude starting point
for polar alignment.
