True precision for your astronomical future

GM 1000 HPS: ~ 25kg load capacity

  • Unguided imaging
  • Satellite tracking
  • high-precision spectroscopy
  • Exoplanet search – even for field use!

 

DRIVE MECHANICS

  • Self-locking, high-precision worm-wheeldrives with classic friction clutches
  • Internal wiring – no external mount cables (GM 1000 HPS)
  • High torque Servo DC motors eliminate imbalance motor stall
  • GM 1000 HPS with ultra portable on-axis encoder mount for uncompromizing stand-alone field use

 

DRIVE ELECTRONICS

  • Ultra-high-precision RA & Dec on axis encoders, featuring more than 10 million increments (interpolated), fully encapsulated and calibrated
  • Up to 0.5" RMS tracking accuracy - for long duration unguided imaging
  • Closed loop (encoder controlled) satellite tracking speed - up to 20°/s
  • Extremely low power consumption and miniature format (20 x 15 x 8cm) electronics
  • After an observing session, the entire electronics box (motor electronics with Linux computer) and HC can be easily detached and protected from premature aging and moisture damage
  • Service friendly design - electronics box and HC can be easily exchanged for service, without returning the precisely adjusted HPS mount

 

FIRMWARE

  • Automatic refraction correction function implemented – the only way for perfect unguided tracking during long exposures
  • Intuitively operated V2.x software and QSI motor control system, integrated into an onboard Linux computer – intelligence built-in
  • No external PC or laptop mandatory in the field – all functions in the onboard computer can be accessed via stand-alone hand control unit (HC)
  • Precise multistar pointing models, entering satellite and comet trajectories, programming individual observing sessions and much more
  • Well documented firmware and drivers, working autonomously w/o additional planetarium software, without need for external RS-232 converters/USB ports
  • Excellent documentation in English and German
  • Electronic balance - requiring one time balancing only
  • Ultra stable pointing model for safe East/West load reversal – no change of pointing model necessary when changing accessories
  • Precise polar alignment – software aided and accomplished within minutes
  • Fully remote controlled via your observatory PC with 10/100 LAN included, perfectly prepared for your future Internet observatory
