The newest member of the iOptron strain wave gear mount family - AZ/EQ dual mount HAE43C EC! This lightweight, compact, medium payload titan will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at less than 13lbs with a payload capability 44lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE43 brings this vision to reality.
Utilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAE43 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized, all metal CNC machined body is appealing to the eye and is a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction break to safely stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption.
All HAE "C" model dual SWG Alt-az/Eq mounts now have an internal main board and no longer requires a handset for operation. An HAE43c mount can be controlled by a computer via the USB-C port on the mount base, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for a Mac OS software. It can also be operated with full GoTo function from the optional 8411 handset.
The HAE43C EC features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image “sans” guiding.
