iOptron HAZ46 Alt-AZ Strain Wave Mount: GoTo power for the larger tube<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron HAZ46 carries 20.8 kg (46 lbs) without a counterweight: enough for a large catadioptric tube or large refractor, in an alt-azimuth mount that can be used immediately without polar alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strain wave drive keeps the head compact and lightweight; the GPS and WiFi make setup and operation fast and wireless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strain wave without polar alignment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The strain wave gears deliver a high torque without backlash and without a counterweight. Furthermore, as a pure alt-azimuth mount, polar alignment is eliminated: set it up, align on one or two stars, and observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The friction brake safely stops the mount in the event of a power failure, and the power-down memory preserves the alignment for the next session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large optics, small setup ritual<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While an equatorial mount in this class requires counterweights and polar alignment, the HAZ46 is ready in minutes. For visual nights with a large OTA, that is the difference between going outside or staying in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operate with the Go2Nova hand controller or via WiFi with SkySafari and iOptron Commander; computer control is available via USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
