The Paramount Robotic Telescope System
Thank you for purchasing the Paramount Robotic Telescope System. The Paramount mount is an ultra-
precision German equatorial mount (GEM) that is designed to deliver unmatched pointing, tracking and
stability for amateur or professional astronomers in portable or permanent installations. These precision
mechanics, when commanded TheSkyX Professional Edition, create a formidable imaging system that can
help you achieve your most lofty observing goals.
