Revolutionary Smart Finder
Our plate-solve-based Smart Finder takes GoTo to the next level. One press captures an image, plate
solves, and corrects pointing for pinpoint accuracy. Supports automated star alignment, automated "Star
Shows" like the Messier Marathon, EAA with live stacking, and advanced routing that reduces slewing time
by 30-50%.
Enhanced Optical Coatings
96% enhanced reflective coatings on both primary and secondary mirrors with precision-controlled
dielectric layers. Maximum light throughput for bright, contrast-rich images on the deepest sky targets.
27-Point Mirror Support
Extensively modeled and optimized 27-point flotation system with sling and 90-degree pivoting lateral
supports. Three-point rod-end collimation is completely independent from lateral support, eliminating
potato-chip astigmatism. Housed in a real mirror box for safe protection and transportation.
All Metal Construction
CNC-machined 6063-T6 aluminum alloy truss tubes, structural steel mirror cell, and aluminum alloy OTA
and mount structure. 8 rigid sectional truss tubes with an extremely strong folding ALT bearing.
Finished with environmentally friendly black powder coating.
OnStep GoTo Controller
State-of-the-art GoTo with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. Works with SkySafari, Stellarium, ASCOM, INDI,
and more. Smart Hand Controller with ~30,000 objects. Telescope encoders for extra pointing accuracy,
real-time clock, park/unpark, sidereal/lunar/solar tracking, and spiral search.
Sling lateral support, push-pull brass knob collimation, real mirror box

support for SkySafari and Stellarium, Bluetooth 4.2 for ASCOM connections, iOS and Android Virtual
Handpad Apps.
Smart Hand Controller
~30,000 objects database. Full initialization, configuration, alignment, and movement control. Advanced
