Key benefits and differentiation

Harmonic Drive technology virtually eliminates mechanical backlash, resulting in exceptional precision when tracking celestial objects. Unlike traditional geared mounts, it requires no adjustment of mechanical backlash, reducing maintenance to a minimum.

Thanks to its light weight and high load-bearing capacity without counterweight, the RST-135 is ideal for travelling astrophotographers looking for a quick, transportable set-up.

Tracking accuracy

Rated at ± 2.5 arcsec, this mount produces perfectly round stars at any focal length! With or without guiding, you'll get exceptional performance!

Examples

Quick installation and commissioning

  1. Install the mount on your tripod.
  2. Select equatorial or alt-azimuth mode as required.
  3. Use the built-in viewfinder to perform polar alignment.
  4. Activate the built-in GPS to automatically initialize date, time and location.
  5. Start the rapid alignment procedure via the controller or a compatible application.
