![]() ![]() The computer-controlled M3 mirror allows either Nasmyth port to be selected in just a few seconds. Eyepieces remain at a constant height, greatly simplifying access to the telescope for public observatories. The Nasmyth focus is along the altitude axis so the telescope does not need to be re-balanced when changing equipment. With high-resolution encoders providing the feedback for the direct drive motors, not only will the telescope track without periodic error and backlash, but the mount will also counter wind gusts with precise servo feedback. Besides, it is the way the pros do it!ĭirect Drive motors and on-axis encoders eliminate the need for gears, thereby eliminating backlash and periodic error. Alt/Az is more intuitive to use and no polar alignment is needed. Unlike German Equatorial mounts, there are no meridian flips to deal with, and no large protruding counterweights to create a dangerous hazard in a public observatory. In its Alt/Az configuration, it is considerably more compact than its German equatorial counterpart, allowing a larger telescope to fit in a smaller enclosure. The L-Series mount combines versatility, simplicity, and affordability by combining all the technology of our Observatory class telescopes into a compact stand-alone mount. High-resolution encoders on each axis for precise positioning.Slew speeds up to 50 degrees per second.Direct-drive motors on each axis for smooth, fast, and virtually silent movement of the telescope.For time frames or questions, please contact us at 80.This observatory-class system weighs in at 2600 lbs and comes standard with a backplate retaining ring ready to accept the focuser of your choice. Featuring an immensely impressive focal ratio of f/6, the PlaneWave PW1000 covers a 100 mm field of view without any field curvature, off-axis coma, or astigmatism. The PlaneWave 1 Meter CDK Telescope has a dual truss design complete with Nasmyth focus ports and cooling fans for both the back of the primary mirror and for the front of the mirror. Designed and manufactured in the U.S.A A History of Excellenceīuilt with the world-renowned foundation of the PW-1000 1 Meter Telescope, PlaneWave combines this revolutionary optical system with the innovative and revered L-Series Direct Drive mount, creating a higher standard in observatory setups. ![]()
