    Overview

    The 10Micron GM2000 HPS II Combi is a high-end German equatorial mount designed for demanding astrophotographers and observatories. Combining the mobility of the Ultraport model with the rigidity of the Monolith version, it provides a versatile solution that excels in both mobile setups and fixed installations.


    Mechanical Design

    • Modular construction
      The mount separates into two components (18 kg and 15 kg) for easy transport and setup.

    • Locking system
      Features dual-locking: fast connection for mobile use and reinforced locking for permanent installations.

    • Axes and bearings
      50 mm alloy steel shafts mounted on preloaded tapered roller bearings ensure stability and precision.

    • Worm gears
      24 mm tempered and ground steel worms drive 215-tooth bronze worm wheels with a 172 mm diameter.

    • Drive system
      Zero-backlash transmission via timing belts and automatic compensation.

    • Motors
      Two brushless servo motors deliver smooth, silent movement.


    Tracking and Pointing

    • Absolute encoders on both axes
      Enable sub-arcsecond tracking accuracy (less than 1 arcsecond RMS over 15 minutes) without autoguiding.

    • Sky modeling
      Internal model supports up to 100 stars, correcting for flexure, polar misalignment, and atmospheric refraction.

    • Pointing accuracy
      Typically better than 20 arcseconds RMS across the entire sky.

    • Slew speed
      Adjustable from 2 to 20 degrees per second.

    • Meridian tracking
      Software allows ±30° beyond the meridian, mechanical limit at ±45°.


    Control and Connectivity

    • Standalone control system
      Embedded Linux-based control box allows fully autonomous operation without the need for a computer.

    • Hand controller
      Heated, red-backlit graphical display, usable with gloves, with multilingual interface.

    • Interfaces
      RS-232, Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, ST-4 autoguider port, GPS port.

    • Software compatibility
      Supports ASCOM, LX200, and 10Micron's Perseus software. Also includes virtual keypad software for remote access.


    Advanced Features

    • Dome control
      Compatible via RS-232 for dome automation.

    • Satellite and solar system tracking
      Built-in database includes stars, deep sky objects, comets, asteroids, and artificial satellites.

    • Electronic balancing
      Software-assisted balancing function without unlocking axes.

    • Multiple alignment models
      Up to 100-star modeling, with storage for different configurations.

    • Custom park positions
      User-defined park states for quick resume.

    • Tracking modes
      Supports sidereal, solar, and lunar tracking speeds, configurable per axis.

    • Environmental resistance
      Standard operating range from -15°C to +35°C; optional ColdTemp version operates down to -30°C.
