SpectrumOptics HX35 Harmonic Mount+ Imager

HX35 Smart Harmonic EQ Telescope Mount Features a high-precision harmonic drive system utilizing a strain wave gear and synchronous timing belt with a 100:1 reduction ratio, significantly reducing periodic error for optimal astrophotography. Supports a generous instrument payload capacity of 22 lbs without a counterweight, and expands to handle up to 28 lbs when paired with an optional counterweight. Easily converts between Equatorial (EQ) and Altazimuth (ALT-AZ) modes to accommodate diverse visual observing and imaging setups. Integrated with the MirroSky intelligent astronomical system, pairing a 53mm ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) guidescope with high-sensitivity smart camera technology. Equipped with a Sony IMX662 (1/2.8-inch CMOS, 2.1MP) sensor, capable of managing both short and long exposures to capture faint deep-sky objects and detailed planetary views. Employs advanced, automatic plate-solving technology to instantly map the night sky and align your setup without the need for manual alignment or reference star calibration. Eliminates the need for a physical hand controller or external GPS receiver, relying entirely on the companion MirroSky App to seamlessly sync your smart device's local time, date, and location. Provides wireless command and navigation through a comprehensive catalog of over 100,000 celestial targets, including Messier, NGC, solar system objects, and tonight's best attractions. Built with essential expansion interfaces, including ST4 guider ports, USB 2.0 communication ports, and full ASCOM compatibility to easily integrate with third-party software. Packaged with a rugged aluminum travel case designed to securely store and protect the mount system on the go. Backed by a comprehensive 2-year warranty. What's in the box?
