Uchwyt Explore Scientific EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GOTO

The Explore Scientific EXOS-2 GT with PMC-8 electronics is quite unique and special. Most of the serious amateur mounts on the market today offer single processors. The PMC-8 electronics are extremely robust. 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-8. 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. The electronics also includes an Auto-Guide port (ST4 contact input) and features the only wireless ASCOM driver on the market. The belt driven system uses 2 timing pulleys (1–45 groove and 1–10 groove) with fiberglass re-enforced neoprene belt connected to a Nema11 bi-polar stepper .67 amps 12ncm motor then connected to the worm. Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The included battery pack (12V) takes eight size “D” batteries. The 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 28 lbs. of equipment.
