iOptron HAE43B-iMate Harmonic Drive Equatorial GoTo Mount
Keeping pace with rapidly developing technology, iOptron HAE43 and HAE43EC mounts are now joined by new "B" iMate versions.
iMate model mounts feature a powerful 64-bit ARM-based onboard computer with Wi-Fi, preloaded KStars Planetarium Software, and an EKOS control and automation tool with INDI drivers.
This hardware-software combination will support the use of most current and future devices, enabling users to choose from various brands and models (cameras, focusers, filter wheels, etc).
With 32 GB eMMC storage and a slot for up to 64 GB TF (micro SD) memory, the iMate can control and capture an entire automated session.
The iMate is cross-platform; you can use it with Windows, IOS, Linux, Android, etc.
All HAE iMate dual strainwave Alt-Az/EQ mounts now have an internal main board and no longer require a handset.
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 provides a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years.
Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power-down memory allow the mount to safely stop and resume a Go-To slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (no need to realign and start from the beginning).
