![]() This makes possible using the mount even in locations with limited power available. The mount is powered with low voltage, requiring a maximum power of about 100W. This effectively solves the problem of entangling cables and damaging instruments, especially for remote observatories. The axes feature a 60 mm diameter hole allowing for the passage of instrumentation cables. Only one cable runs from the control box to the mount. The connections of the mount and keypad secutiry lock screws. The electronics is housed in an easily detachable housing (control box), mounted above the right ascension axis, in order to obtain the best accessibility of all connections. The axes themselves are made of alloy steel, with a diameter of 85 mm (right ascension) and 80 mm (declination), for the maximum rigidity. The worms are made of alloy tempered steel with a diameter of 32 mm. The wormwheels are made of bronze (B14), with a diameter of 330 mm and 430 teeth in right ascension, and a diameter of 244 mm and 315 teeth in declination. Both axes feature a classic worm – wormwheel pairing. Movements are driven by two servo brushless motors, with timing belt reduction having zero-backlash. It is ideal for remotized observation sites, and its loading capacity allows for mounting instruments like 300 mm diameter refractors, 400 mm diameter Newton reflectors, 600 mm diameter Cassegrains and so on. The GM4000HPS mount, now in the new M2 version, is built for observatories with an instrumentation up to a weight of 150 kg – 330 lbs (excluding counterweights). ![]() It shares the same high level of Italian engineering, craftmanship, build quality and features of all the other 10 Micron HPS mount range. The 10Micron GM4000 HPS II German equatorial mount is the last and largest mount in their equatorial mount line-up. SkyPortal is compatible with Android 4.0 and higher.Īlthough SkyPortal works on a variety of Android devices, the following devices are supported: Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, Note, Note 2, Note 3, Tab, Tab 2, Tab 3.The GM4000HPS mount, now in the new M2 version, is built for observatories with an instrumentation up to a weight of 150 kg – 330 lbs.ġ0Micron GM4000 HPS II German Equatorial Mount SkyPortal’s telescope alignment incorporates advanced mount modeling, providing better pointing accuracy than other telescope systems that rely on a dedicated computer. Note: SkyPortal does not work with any third-party WiFi telescopes or WiFi modules. Tap any object and your telescope automatically centers it in the eyepiece. Fast and easy alignment options allow you to align your telescope in minutes without any prior knowledge of the night sky. Pair your device to your compatible Celestron WiFi telescope, such as NexStar Evolution and Astro Fi WiFi, or any compatible Celestron telescope equipped with the SkyPortal WiFi Module (formerly SkyQ-Link). Night Vision Mode helps you preserve your night vision after your eyes have dark adapted.View hundreds of astronomical photographs and NASA spacecraft images. Or listen to more than four hours of audio narration to learn the history, mythology, and science of the heavens.Or animate a lunar eclipse such as the "Blood Moon" so you know what to expect before you set up your telescope. Look ahead to see when Jupiter's Great Red Spot will be visible. Simulate the night sky up to 100 years in the past or future to plan your observing session.View a custom list of all the best celestial objects to view based on your time, date, and location.Zoom in to view fainter objects not visible to the naked eye. ![]()
