iOptron HAE69B EC AZ/EQ SWG with iMate

Description

The iOptron HAE69B EC AZ/EQ SWG with iMate is a hybrid Alt-Az and Equatorial mount built with advanced Strain Wave Gear technology for both RA and DEC axes. It delivers exceptional stability, smooth tracking and accuracy for demanding imaging tasks.
With a payload capacity of 31 kg (69 lb) and a weight of 9 kg (19.8 lb), it offers a remarkable payload-to-weight ratio and eliminates the need for counterweights. The mount’s CNC-machined black anodized aluminum structure ensures rigidity and durability for years of operation.
The integrated iMate computer features a 64-bit ARM processor, preloaded with KStars, Ekos and INDI drivers, providing a complete control and automation environment. It supports a wide range of imaging devices such as cameras, focusers and filter wheels.
Equipped with 32 GB of eMMC storage and a micro-SD slot (up to 64 GB), the system can manage a fully automated imaging session without external computers. Three 12 V DC outputs, two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port simplify connection and power distribution.
The HAE69B EC includes an electronic friction brake, built-in ST-4 autoguide port, dual Vixen/Losmandy-D saddle, and automatic zero-position search. Handset and iPolar scope are optional.
It is an ideal mount for astrophotographers and observers seeking high precision, portability and autonomous operation.
