The state-of-the-art EM-500 Temma II mount has a tracking accuracy that is guaranteed to +/- 3.5
arc seconds without periodic error correction and it runs off of 24V DC. The EM-500 Temma II
slews at 560X the Sidereal rate. The Temma II GoTo System can be operated via The Sky, Level IV
software and is closed-loop. This means that the telescope can be moved manually without
restarting the GoTo system. The mount can also be operated in manual (non-GoTo) mode without
connecting to a computer and dual-axis tracking is available in this mode.

The self-contained illuminated polar finder is accurate to two arc minutes of the pole.
Autoguider and CCD cables are available for most CCD cameras including serial, RJ-11, and USB
connectors. Main gears are phosphor-bronze with matching poly-steel worms for greater accuracy
and durability vs. aluminum & stainless steel. New, precision micro-stepping motors provide high
durabilty with softer pulse-peaks for better imaging. No need for servos and variable-voltage
systems that reduce longevity.
