Astro-Physics 1600GTO German Equatorial Mount with STD Temp Absolute Encoders and APCC-PRO

High-quality Swiss DC servo motors controlled by a microprocessor to an accuracy of 0.05 arc-seconds per step are implemented in GTOCP4 drive system.Very smooth tracking enables PE correction to be very accurate. The system can be precisely controlled over a speed range of 4800:1, which allows 0.25x sidereal for manual guiding to 1200x sidereal for 5 degree per second slewing. Rigorously tested, only mounts that provide an accuracy of 7 arc seconds or better will pass this inspection. If the mount exhibits greater error, the substandard part is identified, replaced and the mount is retested.

  • Semi-PortableOperate with 12V battery
  • Convenient and quick Azimuth and Altitude Adjustment
  • Through-the-mount cabling
  • RA and DEC Clutches
  • Image past the meridian
  • Easy polar alignment for critical viewing
  • Multiple Options for Controlling your Mount in the Field or in Your Observatory
  • Auto-Adjusting Motor/Gearboxes
  • Absolute Encoders
