HEM15 Hybrid Equatorial Mount w/ iPolar

A "tiny titan," the 5.5 lb HEM15 Hybrid GoTo Equatorial Mount with iPolar from iOptron can support an 18 lb telescope optical tube assembly with no need for a counterweight. Utilizing strain wave drive technology for the right ascension movement and backlash-free worm/belt declination drive design, the HEM15 is remarkably lightweight and compact. With the iPolar e-Polarscope from iOptron, accurate polar alignment has never been so simple—all you need to do is place the plus symbol over the graphical representation of the celestial pole's location, and when these two symbols are aligned they represent a precise polar alignment, allowing you to get the best performance possible from your mount. The included Go2Nova 8409 hand controller features a ~212,000 object database and nine control speeds, with the controller able to connect to a PC via USB for computer control and firmware updates.
