This light weight, compact, mini titan will deliver a portable astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing just 5.7 lbs with a payload capability 18lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating compact precision mounts with unheard of payload to weight ratios, led to the HAE16C becoming the choice for astronomers on the go. Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology on the RA movement with a traditional worm gear on the dec the HAE16C delivers tracking accuracy that other dual SWG mounts can match.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction brake allows the mount to stop safely, upgradable firmware, built-in Wi-Fi, and zero position locator. The stationary power and USB inputs go a long way in avoiding tangled cables and wires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn HAE16 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM\/Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for a MacOS software, a SmartPhone\/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite, an App like Sky Safari or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"colors_descriptionbox\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" background=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/DBox_Border_Left.gif\" width=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/clear1x1.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced strain wave drive technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePayload capacity of 18 lbs (~8.2 kg) with the mount weight of 5.7 lbs (2.6 kg).
