Please note: High-quality products of this size will be shipped in their own purpose-built wooden box with special clasps. This rather expensive packaging is necessary for secure transportation and must be added to the invoice amount.

HPS stands for High Precision and Speed - this mount can achieve a satellite tracking and positioning speed of 12 degrees/sec, with an average positioning accuracy of <20" and a tracking accuracy of approx 1"/15min (peak to peak).
The mount is also equipped with high-precision absolute encoders on both axes - this opens up entirely new possibilities. The mount will never lose its orientation, even if you manually move the telescope - no new alignment is necessary, even after a power failure. In portable operation, the mount is faster and easier to set up and north-align than any conventional equatorial mount.
Scope of delivery:
- GM 3000 mount with high-precision absolute encoders
- Motor control box with Linux processor
- Latest QCI software (version 2.x)
- Stand-alone hand-controller
- Cable
- Counterweight shaft

MECHANICS
- Self-locking, high-precision worm drive with classic sliding clutch
- DC high-powered servo motor - no stalling due to imbalance
- GM 1000 HPS with integrated high-precision encoders for portable stand-alone operation
- Internal wiring - no external motor cables
ELECTRONICS
- Absolute encoder installed in both RA and DEC axes with more than 10 million increments (interpolated), fully encapsulated and calibrated
- RMS tracking precision up to 0.5“ - for long exposures without guiding!
- Satellite tracking speed of up to 20 degrees per second!
- Extremely low energy consumption, small electronics box (20x15x8cm)
- The electronics (box and hand-held controls) can be simply removed after each use. This prevents damage due to premature ageing and moisture.
FIRMWARE
- Fully automatic correction of atmospheric refraction - the only way to get perfect long exposures without guiding
- Intuitive V 2 firmware and QSI controller, with Linux-based computer system incl. AMD microprocessor.
- Precise GoTo - thanks to the Multistar alignment system and pointing models. Possibility to import satellite and comet orbits from web directories. Multiple individually programmable observation sessions
- Very well documented firmware, German and English instructions
- Autonomous operation without planetarium software, stand-alone operation using the hand-controller
- Option to connect to all common planetarium software for remote operation (LAN, RS).
- Electronic balancing - without opening the axes (pointing model is preserved)
- Precise, fast and extremely accurate polar alignment thanks to the latest alignment software
INTERFACES
- RS232, Ethernet, Wi-Fi
- Connections for: GPS, autoguider, keypad, mount, AUX and remote switch
