GM 2000 HPS II Combi 10Micron equatorial mount

10Micron GM 2000 HPS II Combi

High Precision & Speed" equatorial mount with absolute encoders

The GM 2000 HPS II Combi takes the fundamentals of the HPS series and adds a separable architecture The RA and Dec axes can be separated into two blocks for easy transport, then locked together by a double system to guarantee the rigidity of a fixed installation.

• Photo capacity: 50 kg (110 lb) without counterweight.
• Pointing accuracy < 20 ″ RMS after internal modeling (≤ 100 stars).
• Typical tracking error < ±1 ″ p-p over 15 min: self-guidance often unnecessary.
• GoTo speed 2 - 20 °/s to switch from one object to another in a matter of seconds.
• Follow-up beyond the meridian up to ±30° (≈ 4 h) without turning.

Technical specifications

ColdTemp" version

The variant ColdTemp integrates special lubricants and electronic components to ensure trouble-free operation down to -35°C. This option must be selected when ordering (factory installation only).
