10Micron GM1000 HPS EP mount represents a major evolution in the world of high-end equatorial mounts. With an increased load capacity of 20 %, reinforced mechanics and the new V3 electronics, it is the ideal solution for professional or demanding astrophotographers looking for a compact, precise and ultra-stable mount.
The GM1000 HPS EP is based on the technology HPS (High Precision & Speed)which combines ultra-fast servo brushless motors, absolute encoders on both axes, and advanced software modeling. The result: tracking accuracy of the order of +/- 1″ over 15 minutesMost of them are not self-steering.
| Improvement | Concrete benefits |
|---|---|
| Capacity increased to 30 kg (+20%) | Possibility of using heavier optics, with more accessories (filter wheel, cooled camera, etc.). |
| Reinforced RA and DEC axes | Less mechanical bending, greater stability on long lay-ups |
| Larger, optimized bearings | Smoother movements and greater durability |
| Redesigned worm supports | Improved mechanical integrity, even more precise tracking |
| New V3 control box | German industrial connectors, improved connectivity, integrated GPS |
| Enhanced Web interface | Easy remote monitoring and adjustment, ideal for robotic observatories |
