• Includes a detachable control box with secure connections and locking screws.
• Prevents cable clutter with cable passage hole and operates on low voltage (100W).
• Keypad control available with red backlight and integrated heater for all observing conditions.
• Connectivity options include RS-232 or Ethernet ports for computer control.
• Star database includes stars up to 16th magnitude and various deep sky catalogs.
• Offers accuracy up to 15 arcseconds for flexure compensation, suitable for long exposure imaging without autoguiding.
• Slewing speed ranges from 2° to 8° per second, with 6° per second in Right Ascension

The GM4000 HPS features dual axis absolute encoders. This gives it stunning accuracy for ultimate long exposure imaging. The slewing speed ranges from 2° - 8° per second (6° per second in Right Ascension). Tracking on any celestial object can be done for up to four hours since tracking can go 30° past the meridian if needed.

The star database consists of stars up to the 16th magnitude as well as various deep sky catalogs and coordinates systems. With accuracy of up to 15 arcseconds to compensate for flexure, long exposure imaging is a breeze without the need for autoguiding! 

The 10 Micron GM4000 HPS Equatorial Mount is designed to support observatory equipment with payloads up to the 330 lb range, making it an optimal choice for remote observation systems with its rigid precisioned machined body. With this payload capacity, generally refractors up to 300mm, Newtonian reflectors up to 400mm and Cassegrains up to 600mm can be mounted. With dual axis servo brushless motors with zero backlash timing reduction and classic bronze wormwheels (244mm DEC and 330mm RA) and allow steel worms of 32mm size , the 10 Micron GM 4000 HPS is ideal for accurate and smooth slewing and tracking with extremely heavy payload capacity to support higher end astroimaging and scientific research.

The 10 Micron GM4000 HPS includes a detachable control box with secure connection and locking screws. With the included cable passage hole, this setup prevents cable clutter and easy controlling of the mount with a low voltage of 100W. The included keypad can be used to control the mount rather than an external computer and with a red backlight and integrated heater, can be used in virtually any observing setting. However a computer can still be used with the RS-232 or ethernet ports.
