iOptron HAZ 46 Alt-Az Strain Wave Mount

This lightweight, compact, medium-payload HAZ46 mount weighs only 12.3 lbs (5.6 kg) but can support a payload of 44 lbs (20kg) with a cumbersome counterweight or shaft.

HAZ mounts will support various instruments with flexibility for outreach programs and satellite tracking. The multi-position saddle (placed on top or to the side) uniquely sets up the HAZ46 to accommodate binoculars. Just turn the mount on, and it will calibrate itself and GoTo the first target utilising iOptrons' time-tested "Lever and Go" technology.

Utilising state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both the RA and DEC movement, the HAZ46 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodised 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 GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign and start from the beginning).

A HAZ46 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 or an App like SkySafari; or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
