While the design is innovative, we are doing what no other telescope company has done, and that is to make the controlling interface language and example software code open source, so that programmers in the astronomical community can create new platforms and new astronomy GoTo experiences to best suit their needs for casual observations and research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a robust high-end equatorial mount that offers either hardwired or wireless connectivity with a computer running any ASCOM-compatible software. For users without such software, Explore Scientific provides an intuitive mount control graphical interface software package called ExploreStars, which is downloadable from the Microsoft App Store, Google Play, or iTunes App Store at no charge. ExploreStars is currently available for Windows 8.1 and 10, Android, Amazon Fire, and Apple tablets. \u003cspan\u003eTablets and computers must be purchased separately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equatorial mount underlying the Explore Scientific\/Losmandy G-11 with PMC-Eight GoTo system is a modified version of the Losmandy G-11. For example, Explore Scientific has replaced the servo motors in the standard G-11 with stepper motors to more precisely control the motor rate to .01 arc seconds per second. Another modification is the use of helical couplers on each axis ($175 value on each axis) to provide more reliable operation and higher performance by connecting the worm and motor more securely in the RA and DEC axes. Moreover, the Explore Scientific’s modified mount includes the Losmandy RA extension (a $295 value) (the 0.6\" saddle plate extension is not necessary with our setup) that not only allows the mount to track beyond the meridian but also allows the 35-pound mount head to be separated into components of 15 and 20 pounds for easy transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight GoTo controller is the eight processor micro-controller. In addition to standard features like an auto-guide port (ST4 contact input) and a serial port for conventional hardwired connectivity, the PMC-Eight encompasses such advanced features as a wireless Ethernet 10\/100 with full IP function which permits access to the controller from anywhere, which provide fast and robust operations. To fully unlock the potential of this controller, Explore Scientific has adopted an open-source approach – meaning that Explore Scientific freely provides documentation for the controller and example software demonstrating how the controller’s features can be utilized. Thus, the astronomy community which we refer to as the OpenGoTo® Community is encouraged to develop and share creative applications for the PMC-Eight. We also offer one of, if not the only ASCOM compatible wireless driver on the market. It is also one of, if not the only ASCOM driver with complete open-source code available to write whatever you might need into the code of the ASCOM driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of a 60-pound payload capacity, various ASCOM compatible software packages coupled with the precision of the PMC-Eight system makes the Explore Scientific\/Losmandy G-11 an excellent choice for the serious astronomer. Additionally, the Explore Scientific OpenGoTo Community provides a resource for advanced amateur astronomers to develop his\/her own applications for this system. And, when controlled by ExploreStars, this mount is a proven favorite among audiences during events outreach and at star parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e \u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"specs\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eES-G11PMC8–00\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eLoad Capacity Equipment Rating\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eInstrument Weight: 60 lbs.

The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-mount with field tripod has been specially designed for the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC BT large binoculars series, but also fits most other binoculars with a lens diameter of 70 to 120mm that have a 1\/4 inch photo thread connection on the underside. With the U-mount there is no shaking or annoying vibrations, the combination is as if made from one piece and provides unadulterated observation fun in all setting positions of the binoculars. Regardless of whether you are surveying the starry sky or observing the landscape, the U-Mount is a solid base for your large binoculars and enables smooth and even movements in both axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe U-mount as a base for large binoculars and always with you on every excursion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn easily transportable but solid mount is essential when using large binoculars. A simple photo tripod with a ball head or video tilt head is quickly overwhelmed here. The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-mount has a fine-grained mechanism with adjustable friction in both axis, and enables easy adjustment and tracking even when the payload is fully utilized. Depending on the set intensity of the friction, the position of the binoculars is kept stable or a soft and even movement can take place. The large adjusting screws on both axis run smoothly and are easy to use even with gloves and clammy fingers. The massive construction of the U-mount reduces vibrations to an absolute minimum. Even at high magnification there is no blurring and the finest details can be observed. The U-mount and tripod can be separated for easy transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly of the large binoculars on the U-mount \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of the quick-change adapter plate included in the scope of delivery, the binoculars can be mounted and removed again in a few seconds. This is a major advantage, especially for mobile outdoor use. The connection between the binoculars and the adapter plate is made using two 1\/4 inch threaded bolts (standard photo tripod thread), which are guided variably in an elongated hole. Universal use with different binoculars is therefore possible. The double screw connection guarantees a very secure fit of the binoculars. The adapter plate itself is also attached to the U-mount with the help of two large clamping screws, which can also be easily operated with gloves. Nothing wobbles here and all controls are easy to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe field tripod provides a secure stand \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegardless of the surface, the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC tripod offers a secure stand. The solid aluminum and stainless steel construction effectively suppress any kind of vibrations. The 50mm diameter stainless steel tripod legs and the aluminum tripod head plate are an ideal combination and offer maximum stability with a moderate transport weight of only 5.8kg. With the tripod legs put on and pushed in, the transport dimensions are only 80cm long. The accessory tray included in the scope of delivery also serves to brace the tripod legs towards the outside and thereby increase stability. By pulling out the tripod legs, the working height for the binoculars can be individually adjusted in a range from approx. 100 to 140cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"specs\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e01-14300\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eTotal length\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e1000 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eTotal width\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e1000 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eTotal height\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e1390 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eTotal net weight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e11300 g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eHousing material\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eMagnesium\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e \u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"warranty\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited Warranty is one year, which converts to the Explore STAR Transferable Extended Life of the Product Warranty when product is registered within 60 days of purchase. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/apps\/product-registration\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e to register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eCA Residents: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/pages\/prop65\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProp 65 WARNING(S)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346048024881,"sku":"01-14300","price":749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8703\/5441\/files\/4e01b10b80709b34ac09fb10fb8ad0e2_0114300_m_1.jpg?v=1747147651"},{"product_id":"twilight-medium-duty-tripod-black","title":"Twilight Medium Duty Tripod (Black)","description":"\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"description\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5-inch stainless steel legs provide a sturdy foundation for your observing or imaging setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie cast aluminum spreader tray locks against the inside of the legs for added stability and to keep vibrations to a minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreader tray doubles as a holder for accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable legs with a height range of 25-inches to 42-inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide 42-inch footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e \u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"description\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twilight Medium Duty Tripod is an excellent option for those looking to enhance the stability and weight capacity of their iEXOS-100 set-up. \u003cbr\u003eAvailable in both black and white, this tripod has fully adjustable 1.5-inch stainless legs that are secured with a die cast aluminum spreader tray and threaded T-bar to create a stable foundation for your observing or imaging set-up.

When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) because it will precisely follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. For observers, a GEM makes it easy to keep your celestial target in your eyepiece. For imagers, it helps you avoid common astrophotography pitfalls like field rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky or a bright city sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GOTO system in your arsenal of astronomical tools that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is internally complex, the GOTO system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that is routinely updated to ensure it remains a relevant resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur commitment to creating a streamlined GOTO mount is obvious in other design choices. The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod. Other features include a bracket for holding the battery pack, which powers the PMC-Eight\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e system through 8 C batteries (not included); two 1 kg counterweights for balancing (telescopes and accessories that weigh more than 6 lbs required additional \u003ca title=\"Counterweight for ES-iEXOS-100-02\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/products\/iexos-100-2-2-pound-counterweight-1kg-2-2lb-es-cw22-00\"\u003ecounterweights\u003c\/a\u003e); and glow-in-the-dark markers on certain points of the mount and tripod so you can stay oriented with your setup at night.

When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) because it will precisely follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. For observers, a GEM makes it easy to keep your celestial target in your eyepiece. For imagers, it helps you avoid common astrophotography pitfalls like field rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky or a bright city sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GOTO system in your arsenal of astronomical tools that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is internally complex, the GOTO system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that is routinely updated to ensure it remains a relevant resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur commitment to creating a streamlined GOTO mount is obvious in other design choices. The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod. Other features include a bracket for holding the battery pack, which powers the PMC-Eight\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e system through 8 C batteries (not included); two 1 kg counterweights for balancing a telescope weighing up to 8 pounds (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/products\/iexos-100-2-2-pound-counterweight-1kg-2-2lb-es-cw22-00\" title=\"iEXOS-100 Counter Weights, ES-CW22-00\"\u003eadditional counterweights\u003c\/a\u003e required for heaver loads); and glow-in-the-dark markers on certain points of the mount and tripod so you can stay oriented with your setup at night.
