![]() ![]() The software interface features a Classic four-button pattern for guiding, centring, moving and slewing on the touch screen of your tablet or phone. The basic download includes a standard 2 star or 3 star alignment procedures, over 70,000 star database, the Messier Catalogue and Solar System objects. ![]() ExploreStars is a free App downloadable from the Microsoft App store. The ExploreStars OpenGoto® Software has the same basic functions as most goto mounts on the market today. 2x 4.5kg counterweights are supplied as standard.Įxplore Scientific EXOS2-GT with PMC-8 Electronics is controlled from a Windows PC, Windows Tablet or Windows Smartphone with a beautiful full colour graphical user interface (switchable to red nightvision mode), using Explore Scientific’s own ExploreStars OpenGoto® Software. The mount head rests on a very tough and rigid stainless steel tripod with adjustable 2" legs from 26.8" to 42.5" and can support up to 12.7kg/28 lbs. The included battery pack (12 V) takes eight size "D" batteries, though naturally can be run from 12v mains supplies and field batteries (supplied separately). Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The belt driven system uses 2 timing pulleys (1-45 groove and 1-10 groove) with fibreglass reinforced neoprene belt, connected to high quality Nema11 bi-polar stepper motor (0.67 amps 12ncm). 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 behaviour – hence the name PMC-8. The PMC-8 electronics are extremely robust in comparison. Most of the serious amateur goto mounts on the market today offer controllers with single processors. This delivers a mount which is whisper quiet in operation, with high positional accuracy, low periodic error, wireless control AND wireless ST4 protocol autoguiding functionality too - plus class leading electronic hardware. Based on the Exos2 German Equatorial mount architecture, Explore Scientific have added new belt driven dual stepper motors, the unique military grade PMC-8 wireless goto hardware (featuring 2 channel 8-CPU microprocessor), all controlled with the Explore Scientific ExploreStars Open Goto App, which runs on Windows PC, tablets and Smartphones. The Explore Scientific EXOS2-GT with PMC-8 Electronics is a big leap forward in goto mount design and functionality. ![]()
