iOptron HAE43B-EC AZ/EQ harmonic mount with iMate and Go2Nova hand controller

iOptron HAE43B-EC AZ/EQ harmonic mount with iMate and Go2Nova hand controller

Description

The iOptron HAE43B-EC AZ/EQ harmonic mount with iMate and Go2Nova hand controller combines advanced strain wave gear drive technology on both axes, offering high stability, smooth operation, and precision.
Weighing only 5.8 kg, it supports 20 kg of payload (up to 25 kg with counterweight).

The EC model features a high-precision RA encoder providing Realtime PEC (RPEC) and guiding-free performance.
A friction-based electronic brake ensures safety during power loss or interruption.

The iMate ARM 64-bit onboard computer runs KStars and Ekos, supporting INDI/ASCOM drivers and compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It has 32 GB eMMC, a microSD slot up to 64 GB, and several connectivity options:
1 × USB 3.0, 2 × USB 2.0, 3 × DC 12 V outputs, 1 × USB-C, and 1 × ST-4 guiding port.

The Go2Nova 8411 OLED hand controller is included and features a 212,000-object database for direct operation.

Other key features include a dual Vixen/Losmandy saddle, level bubble, automatic zero position locator, and aluminum carrying case.
Operating at 12 V DC / 5 A, the mount consumes 0.7 A while tracking and 1.2 A during slewing.
