Optron HEM44 EC - Compact Hybrid EQ Mount with iPolar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron HEM44 EC offers power and precision in a lightweight package. Perfect for those looking for a stable platform for telescopes up to 20 kg, without large counterweights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lightweight and strong<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This mount weighs only 6.2 kg, but carries up to 20 kg. That means less lifting and faster setup, while allowing you to safely use heavy telescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solid and reliable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CNC-machined aluminum housing is durable and stable. An automatic stop function keeps your mount safe during power outages. No need to realign after recovery. Accurate tracking works even without guiding, keeping your objects in sharp focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart features and connectivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The HEM44 EC uses iOptron Go2Nova 8409 software with a database of 212,000 objects. Control can be done via Handbox, USB, Wi-Fi or mobile with iOptron Commander Lite, SkySafari and Raspberry Pi. Cables are neatly concealed internally so you don't have a messy tangle of wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible and practical<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The dual mount saddle supports Vixen and Losmandy rails. Thanks to Harmonic Drive technology, the mount moves smoothly and lightly, making accurate tracking and long observing sessions easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
