iOptron HAE43 Strain Wave AZ/EQ Mounting
iOptron have introduced a new range of Strain Wave Gear dual AZ/EQ mounts the HAE43 and HAE43EC (Encoder).
These lightweight, compact, medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing less than 13 lbs but with a payload capacity of 44 lbs without needing a counterweight or shaft.
Utilising state-of-the-art Strain Wave Gear technology on both the Ra and Dec axes, the HAE43 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. The black anodised all-metal CNC machined body is a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come.
Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power-down memory allow the mount to safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (there is no need to realign and start from the beginning).
The HAE43 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third-party INDI driver for MAC OS software, by smartphone/tablet via iOptron Commander lite or an app like Sky Safari or even a Raspberry PI device via INDI driver.
