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.A 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. Features: Advanced strain wave drive technology Payload capacity of 18 lbs (~8.2 kg) with the mount weight of 5.7 lbs (2.6 kg). Maximum payload of 26.5lbs with an optional CW shaft and CW CNC machined Unique friction brake on RA axis to safely stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption 360 second gear period Vixen dovetail saddle Built in zero position search and locator Built-in Wi-Fi USB-C type ports for firmware upgrade and computer control (one on base and one on dovetail saddle) Support iOptron Commander, ASCOM and INDI Optional Go2Nova® 8411 handset with OLED display iPolar electronic polar scope for easy and accurate polar alignment (optional) Soft carrying case Two year warranty Optional carbon fiber tripod #8061A Optional iGuiderTM autoguiding system #3360 Optional counterweight shaft (#P-SGP-CWS) and counterweight (#3006-05) Optional MiniPier extension #8041 Specifications Mount Hybrid EQ/AA Mount RA gear system StrainWave 14 DEC gear system Backlash-free worm/belt system RA reduction ratio 360:1 Payload w/o CW* 18 lbs (8.2kg) Mount weight 5.7lbs (2.6kg) Payload/Mount weight 3.17 Payload with CW 26.5 lbs (12kg) Structure Material All metal, Casting + CNC machined Periodic 360 second Drive motor Stepper motor Latitude adjustment range 0º ~ 90º Azimuth adjustment range ± 6º Polar Scope External iPolarTM electronic polar scope (optional) Level indicator Level bubble Hand Controller Go2Nova® 8411 with OLED display (optional) Tracking Automatic Speed 1×,2×,8×,16×,64×,128×,256×,512×,MAX(6°/sec) Power consumption 0.6A(Tracking), 1A(GOTO) Power requirement DC 12V, 5A AC adapter 100V ~ 240V (included, indoor use only) Power off brake Electronic friction brake on RA Zero position sensor Yes on both RA and DEC Wi-Fi Built-in on main board Communication port Yes (2XUSB and Wi-Fi on main board ) Autoguider Optional external iGuider Firmware upgrade Yes Computer control iOptron Commander, ASCOM and INDI Dovetail saddle Vixen-type Counterweight shaft SS Φ20mmX200mm, 3/8”-16 threaded (optional, #P-SGP-CWS) Counterweight 4.5 lbs (2.5kg) (optional #3006-05) Mounting 3/8”-16 Tripod Optional carbon fiber tripod 8061A Operation temperature -20ºC ~ 40ºC (hand controller -10ºC ~ 40ºC) Warranty Two year limited * Payload calculated with payload center of gravity to the RA rotation axis is 200mm.
