Product description Explore Scientific partnered with iconic designer Scott Losmandy to offer you their first GoTo mount: The PMC-Eight GoTo System with Losmandy G-11 Mount and Tripod. The basis of the system is Losmandy's G-11 motorized German equatorial mount and tripod. Utilizing stepper motors, stainless steel worm shafts, and brass worm gears, the mount is steady and stable with virtually zero vibrations while running and tracking.Explore Scientific stripped out the G-11's electronics and hand controller and replaced them with their own control box. The control box has a wireless antenna that allows it to connect to the Internet or locally to your Windows PC or mobile device running the open-source ExploreSky software. When connected to the Internet, the mount can be controlled from anywhere in the world. For local use, the mobile app gives you an intuitive interface. The open-source nature of the software gives you a nearly infinite capacity to customize and share your own versions and modifications, which allows you to explore the sky in ways conventional proprietary software suites wouldn't.To provide a stable base for observations, the included tripod has sturdy 3" legs with an adjustable height of 33-48". It's 35 lb weight helps to minimize vibrations, and the whole tripod can fold to a compact size for easier transport and storage. - Mount
