About this product

Model: ioptron_hae69_ec
Part Number: HE694C

iOptron HAE69EC Dual AZ/EQ SWG Mount with High Precision Encoder.

Introducing the new iOptron strain wave gear (SWG) mount family members - HAE69 and HAE69EC AZ/EQ dual SWG mount! These lightweight, compact, medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 19 lbs with a payload capability of 69 lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE69 makes this vision possible.

The HAE69EC features a high-precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image “sans” guiding.

Utilising state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAE69 mounts deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. It's black anodised, all-metal CNC machined body is a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years. Unique features such as 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).

A HAE69 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.

Includes an aluminium carrying case.
