A perfect combination of our Alluna RC24AZ together with the AZ5000 DDS mount from 10micron.
The AZ5000 DDS mount is an azimutal robotic fork mount of the latest generation, with optional derotator / eyepiece extension, directly driven motor system with high-resolution absolute encoder and a go-to speed of up to 40 degrees / second.Ideally suited as an observatory telescope or as an optical ground station for laser communication.

With Cassegrain focus and optional IMP (Instrument Multi Port)
An IMP with three ports is available for the Cassegrain focus. In addition to the main camera, two additional instruments, spectrometers or video cameras, can be connected. more Infos
