iEXOS-100-2 PMC-Eight Equatorial Tracker System Tripod and Mount for Astrophotography with WiFi and Bluetooth Compatible

Features

• Integrated Explore Scientific PMC-Eight system that transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions, which results in superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals.
• Clutched dual-axis worm gears with quiet precision stepper motor belt drives
• Intuitive ExploreStars app, which is available for Apple, Android and Windows tablets, that makes it simple to operate the GOTO system. Through it, users can quickly align their telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects
• Clutched RA and Declination axes are smooth and allow for precise balancing which makes the process of repositioning your telescope efficient
• Polar alignment sight hole through the RA axis and precise altitude control for fast alignment without polar scope.

Description

You’ve found the perfect spot with ideal seeing conditions, and your eyepiece is waiting to unveil celestial treasures. Instead of diving right into observing or imaging, you can quickly whittle away precious time manually locating and tracking specific objects as they move across the expansive night sky. That’s where Explore Scientific’s iEXOS-100 GOTO system comes in! With the iEXOS-100 GOTO tracker mount in your arsenal of astronomical tools, flawlessly navigating the sky has never been easier. It utilizes a proven German equatorial mount design and an integrated version of our revolutionary PMC-Eight system that transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking. Although it is internally complex, the robust electronics that power this premium GOTO mount are easily managed from your own tablet or laptop using the intuitive ExploreStars app or through the ASCOM-powered software of your choosing. Our commitment to creating a streamlined GOTO mount is obvious in other design choices. The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod. Other features include a bracket for holding the battery pack, which powers the PMC-Eight system through 8 C batteries (not included); two 1 kg counterweights for balancing (telescopes and accessories that weigh more than 6 pounds will require additional counterweights); and glow-in-the-dark markers on certain points of the mount and tripod so you can stay oriented with your setup at night.
