Description

AZ 2000 HPS Combi Mount

10Micron AZ2000 HPS Alt-azimuth mount
Ideal for high precision satellite tracking and photometric and astrometric work
50kg + 25kg (in dual scope configuration) instrument payload capacity
Go-to speed Adjustable from 2°/s to 20°/s
Pointing accuracy < 20” with internal multiple-stars software mapping
Average tracking accuracy < +/− 1″ typical for 15 minutes (< 0.7″ RMS) with internal multiple-stars software mapping and compensation of flexure and polar alignment errors

This mount is the latest version of the AZ2000, an altazimuth mount based on the mechanics of the GM2000. The AZ2000 HPS is a very versatile research mount, perfect for scientific activities such as satellite tracking, photometric and astrometric measurements, LiDaR laser applications and so on. Due to its altazimuthal design, it’s necessary an optional field de-rotator (ASCOM compatible) in order to get long exposures without field rotation.

The standard version allows to assembly the optics to only a side of the mount and is supplied with a short counterweight bar. It’s not necessary to exactly counterbalance the weight of the telescope: using counterweights for about 50% of your payload to get a sufficient stable configuration.

An option is available for a dual telescope configuration.

Optional ColdTemp upgrade, in case the mechanics and electronics of the mount have to work flawlessly under hard environmental conditions available (-30c). Please note that this can only be integrated into the mount during master assembly and can not be upgraded.
