June 25, 2023: First light of HEM15
in Discussions - Mounts
Posted
I have an HEM15 setup for a more portable astrophotography setup. These are the weights I measured:
HEM15 mount with iPolar = 2.65kg
HEM15 hand controller (required) plus cable = 0.17kg
Power and USB cable assembly = 0.25kg
I have the RT90C tripod which has more leg sections (good for other applications) = 2.60kg
My scope is an FRA400, with iGuider (0.185kg) plus ASI1600MM (0.41kg) and 8 way ZWO filter wheel (circa 0.5kg with filters), Mele PC etc, total 4.9kg
Guiding RMS is around 0.9 to 1.2" RMS
The HEM15 is quite tall so no pier extension was needed (commonly needed with AM3 and AM5), so that is great!
