About this product
Model: ioptron_hae29
Part Number: HE292
iOptron HAE29 Strain Wave AZ/EQ Mounting.
The iOptron HAE29 is a light weight, high payload mount that delivers an astronomy experience like never before.
Imagine a mount head weighing only 8 lbs, with a payload capability of 40 lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts has made this possible.
Utilising state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both the RA and DEC axes, the HAE29 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency.
Its black anodised all-metal CNC machined body provides a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years.
Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power-down memory enable the mount to stop and resume a GoTo slew safely or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign and start from the beginning).
The mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third-party INDI driver for MacOS software, a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an App like SkySafari, or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
NOTE: The tripod shown in photos is not included but can be purchased separately.
