Important note:

AZ 3000 HPS Mount

The AZ3000 HPS is an altazimuth mount based on the mechanics of the GM3000. The AZ3000 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.

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 counterweigths for about 50% of your payload to get a sufficient stable configuration.

 

  • Altazimuthal mount
  • Exclusive 10Micron HPS technology with absolute axis-encoders and high performances motor drives
  • Payload capacity of 100 +65 Kg in dual telescope configuration.
  • 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 DT Upgrade Kit for a dual telescope configuration  (#1453905 AZ 3000 DT Upgrade Kit)   is also available individually.
  • Please note: When purchasing a 10Micron AZ 3000 mount, the mandory shipping kit with pier adapter and wooden pallet box #1453199 is mandatory.
