10Micron GM 1000 HPS

High Precision & Speed" equatorial mount with absolute encoders

The GM 1000 HPS is the most compact mount in the 10Micron catalog, while retaining the high-resolution absolute encoders placed directly on each axis, a backlash-free servo-brushless belt drive and an on-board Linux controller. It offers :

  • Pointing accuracy < 20 ″ RMS after internal modeling, up to 100 stars.
  • Tracking error < ±1 ″ over 15 minutes, often without self-guidance.
  • GoTo speed 2 - 15 °/s to switch from one object to another in a matter of seconds.
  • Tracking up to ±30 (≈ 4 h) beyond the meridian without turning.

Conclusion

Compact yet extremely rigid, the GM 1000 HPS is designed for astro-photographers on the move and small observatories alike, offering precision worthy of much heavier instruments. The standard package already covers the essentials; the "Professional" upgrade completes the package for a robust and perfectly protected itinerant workstation.
