Product description

Azimuth mount with high-precision absolute encoders on both axes and high-performance motor drives

The AZ1000 HPS is an altazimuth mount based on the mechanics of the GM1000 HPS. The AZ1000 HPS is a very versatile, lightweight and portable mount for research purposes, perfectly suited for satellite tracking, photometric and astrometric measurements, seeing monitoring and much more.

Due to its azimuth design, an optional image rotator (ASCOM compatible) is required for astrophotography in order to achieve long exposure times without field rotation.

The standard version comes with a short counterweight bar. It is not necessary to balance the weight of the telescope exactly: with counterweights for approx. 50% of your payload, you will achieve a sufficiently stable configuration. Most of the GM1000 HPS accessories are compatible with the new AZ1000 HPS.

Scope of delivery:

  • AZ1000 HPS mount with integrated precision absolute encoders
  • Control box with onboard intelligence (Linux processor)
  • V. 2 – HPS version firmware
  • Stand-alone system (no PC required)
  • Professional handcontroller with graphic display and temperature control
  • Losmandy 3″/Vixen GP dovetail plate
  • cable
  • Counterweight bar
  • Transport box

Upgrade: 10micron control box

10Micron has redesigned the hardware of the electronic control box. From now on, all 10Micron mounts will be delivered with the new control box version 3 as standard.

Important new features of the control box V3:

  • Powerful motherboard – New ARM-based processor for higher performance and future-proofing.
  • High-quality industrial connectors – All power and data connections are equipped with high-quality Binder plugs from Deutschland and offer improved protection against moisture, dust and environmental influences.
  • Improved connectivity – A special connection for an external WiFi antenna optimises wireless communication.
  • Optimised data interfaces – New RJ ports for LAN, autoguider and GPS ensure reliable signal transmission.
  • Precise GPS integration – The GPS module is now connected via a PS2 interface (instead of RJ) and has an integrated PPS signal for high-precision time measurement, ideal for satellite tracking.
  • Professional socket/plug for power supply – The previous connection has been replaced by a two-pin Binder plug for 24V DC. A new power cable is included in the scope of delivery.
  • Extended AUX interface – 6-pin AUX connection (DIN EN 61076-2-106) – improves control of remote switches and feedback when switching on.

New web interface for all 10Micron mounts

The new control interface is accessible via any web browser – without any additional software. The mount is displayed directly in the local network under its device name.

Features of the new interface (from firmware 3.0):

  • Direct access to user manual and command log
  • Download of TLE data as well as comet and asteroid data
  • Automatic firmware check and easy updates
  • Virtual hand control box with all the functions of the physical keypad
  • Compatible with any browser and any instrument (PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones) as well as all operating systems
