iOptron HAE29B-EC iMate mount - Guidance without autosteering, integrated computer<\/h3>\n

Visit HAE29B-EC iMate<\/strong> is the top-of-the-range version of iOptron's famous HAE29B mount. It incorporates a high-resolution encoder on AD axis (RA)<\/strong> for very good tracking, potentially without autoguiding for short focal lengths (for instruments over 700mm focal length I would still recommend autoguiding), in addition to Strain Wave Gear technology and on-board computer iMate<\/strong>. This mount is designed for demanding astrophotographers looking for maximum performance in an ultra-compact format.<\/p>\n

Why choose the EC version?<\/h3>\n

The great advantage of the EC version is its presence of an encoder on the RA axis<\/strong>The result is remarkable tracking accuracy, even without guidance. This makes it possible to achieve long exposures with a tracking quality rarely achieved in this weight category. Perfect for nomads, or those who want to lighten their setup without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n

Highlights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Encoder on RA axis for high-precision tracking without autosteering<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Strain Wave Gear technology on both axes (RA and DEC)<\/li>\n
  • Integrated iMate computer with KStars, Ekos, INDI, Wi-Fi, USB and 12V ports<\/li>\n
  • No racket required: everything can be controlled from the iMate or a PC<\/li>\n
  • Payload of 13 kg without counterweight for only 3.9 kg of mount<\/li>\n
  • Electronic brake in case of power failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
