Thank you for choosing the  Crux140 Traveler,  an  ultra-lightweight,  portable equatorial  mount  with a 
highly advanced reducer system, the harmonic gear system. The Crux140 Traveler, despite its small 
size and lightweight of only 3kg, will showcase outstandingly precise processing and quick response 
time for full-fledged astronomical observation and astrophotography. 

The Crux140 Traveler is smallest harmonic gear equatorial mount produced at HOBYM Observatory. A 
long time has been dedicated to its development as well; the points of improvement found from the field 
photography  tests  during  the  development  process  are  closely  reflected  and  will  continue  to  be 
upgraded and developed. Designed and built for the  consumers, the Crux140 Traveler is a portable 
device for expeditions and ensures the highest efficiency and ease of use. The Crux140 Traveler will 
be a perfect companion to your astronomical activities. HOBYM Observatory has succeeded in mass-
production of the world's first small-sized harmonic gear equatorial mount, creating new standards, and 
will  continue  to  launch  competitive  products  through  continuous  research  and  development  as  an 
industry leader.
