The Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight is a portable German equatorial mount with Wi-Fi, belt-driven stepper motors, and multi-core tracking, bringing precision motion control and advanced connectivity to an affordable, travel-friendly design. At the heart of the iEXOS-100 is Explore Scientific's PMC-Eight™ motion control system—an 8-core microcontroller where each processor handles a dedicated function, delivering exceptionally fast timing, smooth slewing, and precise tracking. The mount includes a free PMC-Eight™ ASCOM driver and POTH Client for compatibility with any ASCOM-compliant software, and its German equatorial design means less field rotation during long exposures and more stable, predictable tracking for both visual and photographic sessions. The iEXOS-100 is rated to handle a total payload of up to 19 lbs including optical tube, accessories, diagonal, camera, and counterweights, with 15 lbs recommended for optimal astrophotography performance.
