The HAE69C GoTo Alt-Az/Equatorial SWG Mount from iOptron weighs just 19 pounds, yet has a payload of 69 lb without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. It features a high-precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image without guiding. Utilizing strain wave drive technology for right ascension and declination movement, the HAE69C delivers impressive weight-to-payload efficiency, and its black anodized, all-metal CNC-machined body constitutes a rugged platform. An electronic friction brake 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). The included Vixen/Losmandy dual saddle will hold your optical tube assembly securely.
