More about the series iEQ45...
This version of the iEQ45 mount series allows either alt-azimuth or equatorial operation.
No polar alignment is required when mounting the telescope alt-azimuthally, meaning it is very quickly ready for action when observing visually or doing planetary photography. The mount can also carry a heavier load when used in alt-azimuthal mode, namely up to 25kg.
Equatorial mode allows you to use all the power of the iEQ45 series for your astrophotography.
The new iEQ45 Pro GOTO German equatorial mount is the next generation premium astro-imaging mounts!
iOptron made a few changes on the iEQ45 including:
- Stepper motor (instead of servo)
- Higher gear ratio
- A number of visual changes (ex. plugs moved to sides, motor covers are singular piece, and more)
The iEQ45TM mount offers the next generation GoTo technology from iOptron — not to mention built-in 32-bit GPS. With a payload of 20kg balanced – it comes standard with a calibrated dark field illumination polar scope. It also fits both Vixen and Losmandy-type mounting plates. Its lighter weight (only 11kg) makes it much easier to carry.
