iOptron HAE43C-EC AZ\/EQ Mount Dual SWG: pure encoder precision, controlled via app or PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron HAE43C-EC is an AZ\/EQ mount with strain wave drive (harmonic drive) on both axes. Without a counterweight, it carries 19.5 kg (43 lbs). Use it in alt-azimuth mode for quick visual observing or in equatorial mode for long-exposure astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The C-EC combines the high-resolution RA encoder with the handset-free C-control: real-time error correction, operated via WiFi or computer. A sleek, minimal precision setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those already working with NINA, KStars, or SkySafari, this is the logical version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-time error correction on the RA axis<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The encoder continuously corrects the periodic error of the strain wave drive. Autoguiding is unnecessary at short and medium focal lengths; for longer ones, ST-4 remains available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strain wave: power without counterbalance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The strain wave gears deliver a high torque without backlash, making a counterweight unnecessary in most setups. That saves kilograms of heavy lifting and minutes of setup time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electronic friction brake on both axes safely stops the mount in case of a power failure, and the power-down memory saves the alignment, so you can continue without re-aligning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operation via app or computer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This C-version has full onboard control and works without manual operation: you control the mount via WiFi with iOptron Commander Lite or SkySafari on your smartphone or tablet, or from your computer via ASCOM and INDI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The built-in zero position finder automatically finds the home position, and the USB port is for firmware updates and computer control. Autoguiding can be done via the ST-4 port.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Double saddle, ready for any tube<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The dual saddle accepts Vixen and Losmandy-D rails. For heavier or unbalanced setups, add the optional counterweight bar with counterweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head comes with a transport case or bag and without a tripod; it fits on matching iOptron tripods and mounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
