iOptron HAE43B-EC iMate Mount with Go2Nova Hand Controller

iOptron HAE43B-EC iMate Mount with Go2Nova Hand Controller

Description:

The iOptron HAE69B iMate mount is the latest evolution in the HAE69 series, combining compact design, high payload capacity, and full automation. Weighing only 8.6 kg, the mount supports up to 31 kg without counterweights, using state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology in both RA and DEC axes.

Its all-metal CNC-machined housing, combined with an electronic friction brake and real-time PEC correction, ensures reliable operation and safe recovery after unexpected power loss. The iMate module integrates a powerful 64-bit ARM computer with Wi-Fi, KStars, Ekos, and INDI drivers preloaded. This makes the system compatible with nearly all astrophotography accessories and control platforms.

The iMate offers 32 GB internal memory (expandable via microSD), multiple 12V outputs, USB 2.0/3.0 ports, and a fully cable-free imaging environment. The EC version includes a high-precision RA encoder, enabling unguided astrophotography in many scenarios.

The system comes with the Go2Nova® 8411 hand controller, providing intuitive access to tracking and GOTO functions, even in extreme temperatures.
