product description

transportable
max. payload ~ 25kg
PEC < 1"

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
