ZWO Harmonic Overview
Designed with a strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt for precise control, the offers alt-az operation for observation and go-to equatorial tracking, via an app or a hand controller, for astrophotography. The mount weighs just 8.6 pounds but can support payloads up to 17.6 pounds on its own or 28.7 pounds with a user-supplied counterweight and shaft. A brake system ensures the mount won't topple in the event of a power failure. The mount runs on a user-supplied 12V 3A power supply and is compatible with ASCOM and ZWO's ASIAIR platforms.
Low Weight, High Payload
- Weighs 8.6 pounds
- Supports 17.6 pounds without counterweight
- Payload increases to 28.7 pounds with optional counterweight
Strain-Wave Gear for Precision Control
- Strain-wave gearing system comes with very low periodic errors, smooth gearing, and high torque
- Reduction ratio is 300:1
- Each mount is tested and shipped with a periodic error curve report
Dual AZ/EQ Modes
- Capable of both equatorial and alt-azimuth modes
- Suitable for both visual and imaging
- Elevation angle of 0-90°
- Can be used anywhere from the equator to the polar regions
Mode Indication
- Red light is displayed for equatorial mount mode
- Green light is displayed for alt-azimuth mode
- If the mount has no synchronization, the indicator light flashes alternately red and green, and the corresponding color indicator light will be displayed according to the mode after synchronization
Joystick Handset or App Control
- Can be controlled via the included hand controller or via mobile phone or tablet using the AM5 app
- App offers an onscreen joystick combined with convenient tools including Best Objects of the Evening, a built in star map with real-time display and GOTO functions
- There is no need to connect to a computer— the mount and hand controller connect via Wi-Fi
- The mount is compatible with ASCOM, INDI, ASIAIR, and other platforms
Power-Off Braking
- In the event of power failure, brakes are instantly applied to prevent the telescope and equipment from falling and resulting in damage or injury
12V Power Output Port
- Supplied from the main body power socket, this outlet can share power with devices such as ASIAIR
- The mount is powered by a user-provided 12V 3A power supply
