We also include the RA extension kit so you can slew past the meridian and disassemble the RA and Dec axis for easier transport. We include a direct connection from the stepper motors to the worm block via screw couplers. 9° 400 count stepper motors with a micro stepping controller that makes the motor work at 12,800 steps per revolution with drive rates accurate to a few arc-seconds per day. Slewing rates are up to 4 degrees/sec. The Losmandy G-11 mount is moved by high-resolution. The electronics also includes an Auto-Guide port (ST4 contact input) and features the only wireless ASCOM driver on the market. Within this multi-processor system is a 64 Kbyte EEPROM Non-Volatile Memory bank used to store parameters a Wireless Ethernet 10/100 with full IP function which permits operation from anywhere using a browser, ASCOM, or APP over the web or serial port and Non-Volatile Memory used to store user selected parameters. They include a 2-Channel Multi-Processor Micro-controller with 8 CPUs that run independently and are completely deterministic in their behavior, thus the name PMC-Eight. The PMC-Eight electronics are extremely robust. ![]() Most of the serious amateur mounts on the market today offer single processors. ![]() The Explore Scientific and Losmandy G-11 with PMC-Eight Electronics is quite unique and special. Losmandy has graciously allowed us to buy these mounts and add the new Explore Scientific PMC-Eight GoTo system with its precision stepper motors. ![]() His designs are characterized by precision all-machined parts in aluminum and stainless steel that are not only beautiful, but built with strength that will handle heavy payloads for a lifetime of constant use. A lifelong amateur astronomer, designer, and machinist, Losmandy understands the functional requirements of demanding astrophotography and astronomy. ![]() Scott Losmandy is the designer of the world-famous G-11 mount and tripod that works with most popular-sized telescopes for the serious astronomer.
