Hae69C Overview - iOptron HAE69C Instruction Manual

1. HAE69C Overview

These light weight, compact, medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never
before. Applying iOptron's multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE brings this vision to
reality.
Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAEs
deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not
only appealing to the eye, it's a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to
come. Unique features such as an electronic friction brake and power down memory allow the mount to
safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to
realign and start from the beginning).
HAE69C dual SWG AZ/EQ mounts have an internal main board and no longer requires using with a
handset. The mount has USB ports on both the mount base and saddle that connect directly to the main
board for mount control and firmware upgrade. It also features a built-in Wi-Fi for connection.
The optional Go2Nova® handset with OLED will provide a better user experiences, especially at
extreme temperatures.
The HAE69C EC features a high precision encoder on RA axis that delivers incredible tracking
accuracy, enough that many will choose to image "sans" guiding.
