10 Micron brings high level Italian craftsmanship to the world of astronomy with their GM1000 HPS Equatorial Mount. This splendid Go-To mount provides top notch quality all around, and is sure to easily prove its worth once you integrate it into your newest imaging system setup. Behold- the step of evolution that comes past perfection for German Equatorial mounts in the shape of 10 Micron's GM 1000. Built for the most demanding astronomers, the GM 1000 refines the design principles of German Equatorial mounts to provide the utmost possible quality for your usage.
The movements of the mount are driven by two servo-brushless motors, with timing belt reduction for zero backlash. Both axes utilize worm-wheel and worm gear driven systems in conjunction with the included absolute encoders to provide smooth, stable movement of the mount head when tracking or slewing. The worm wheels are constructed from Bronze, have 250 teeth, and are of a 125 mm diameter. The worms with which they link are constructed from an alloyed steel, ground and lapped, and rendered 20mm in diameter. The Axes themselves are crafted from a 30mm diameter steel alloy for maximum rigidity and stability. The double dovetail mounting plate guarantees the maximum compatibility with a broad array of telescope manufacturers.
Another part of this mounts most excellent composition is the control box in which the majority of the systems electronics are stored. This independent control box is easily removable, convenient for portability. The connections between the motors, encoders, and hand-pad all feature security lock screws for your safety and peace of mind. This mount can be controlled through the included extrnal keypad without any need for a PC to be connected to the mount itself. That keypad in question was built to maintain the maximum possible readability in a wide variety of light conditions, and to provide a convenient, portable interface for the scopes electronic Go-To system.
TAKAHASHI FSQ-130ED REFRACTOR TQE13010
The FSQ series of telescopes were designed with the astro-imager in mind. Featuring a four-element lens system made with superb ED glass, the FSQ produces a virtually flat field across a large image circle. In models other than the FSQ series, the image circle is defined as the circle in which light intensity is 60% or greater. However, because of the outstanding performance of the FSQ series, for these models the image circle is defined as the area where star images are 30 microns or less.
In all FSQ telescopes, the light intensity across the image circle is greater than 70%. The FSQ-130ED is the latest addition to Takahashi’s FSQ line. The FSQ-130ED is a fusion of features from the TOA and FSQ series. The front elements mimic the TOA series, with three elements of ED glass that almost eliminate axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. The rear elements come from the FSQ-106 design, thus eliminating astigmatism and chromatic aberration. Through its design, the amount of light reduction across the image circle is minimal. Out to about 44 mm, the light intensity remains 97%. Out to 64 mm, light intensity is still a remarkable 92%. Even out to 110-mm, the light intensity is above 78%. This light intensity reduces vignetting and keeps stars across the field pin-point. At prime focus the FSQ-130ED produces a 110-mm image circle with an extremely flat field.
The FSQ-130ED has a 130-mm aperture in an f/5, 650 mm telescope. The FSQ-130ED features a retractable dew shield, a 360-degree camera angle adjuster, and a heavy duty, 4-inch rack and pinion focuser. The focuser comes standard with a 7:1 fine focuser reduction. The draw tube features two racks, allowing heavy imaging trains to be used without flexure of the focusing mechanism. The FSQ-130ED can be coupled with several reducers and extenders, including the F/3 Reducer 0.6X and the 645 “super reducer”.
Optical Tube Assembly only (mount, tripod, tube holder and finder sold separately).
