iOptron HAE16C Dual AZ EQ SWG Hybrid Mount (HE162C) Hot on Sale
Description
iOptron HAE16C Dual AZ EQ SWG Hybrid Mount
Ultra Compact, Yet Mighty
Introducing the iOptron AZ EQ dual SWG mount HAE16C! This light weight, compact, mini titan will deliver a portable astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing just 5.7 lbs with a payload capability 18lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating compact precision mounts with unheard of payload to weight ratios, led to the HAE16C becoming the choice for astronomers on the go. Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology on the RA movement with a traditional worm gear on the dec the HAE16C delivers tracking accuracy that other dual SWG mounts can match.
Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction brake allows the mount to stop safely, upgradable firmware, built-in Wi-Fi, and zero position locator. The stationary power and USB inputs go a long way in avoiding tangled cables and wires.
An HAE16 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for a MacOS software, a SmartPhone Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite, an App like Sky Safari or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
