- Extremely stable equatorial-fork design
- 150 pound (68 kg) total instrument capacity
- Compatible with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes and truss OTAs up to 17-inches
- 20 arcseconds or less standard pointing accuracy

- Optional on-axis encoders deliver sub-0.1 arcsecond resolution for optimal performance
- Belt-driven gears with spring loaded worm to gear interface results in virtually zero backlash
