GM 2000 HPS II COMBI GOTO-MOUNT
10MICRON
The GM 2000 HPS II COMBI combines the solid stability of the GM2000 HPS II Monolith with the portability of the GM 2000 HPS II Ultraport. These two mounts are no longer produced and will be replaced by this successor model.

GM 2000 HPS II COMBI GOTO EQUATORIAL MOUNT
The GM 2000 HPS II COMBI combines the solid stability of the GM2000 HPS II Monolith with the portability of the GM 2000 HPS II Ultraport. These two mounts are no longer produced and will be replaced by this successor model.
The "COMBI" is basically an "Ultraport" (“splittable” in two parts ) with an additional locking system; next to the quick locking system, which is very useful to carry and assemble the mount in the field, we added a further locking system. This is meant for customers who have the mount permanently installed in an observatory. It will ensure a great long-term stability, comparable to a GM2000 HPS II Monolith.
You can easily revert the mount into a portable (“splittable”) version simply by removing the locking screws. This way the new GM2000 HPS II COMBI combines both advantages of the previous models in one single mount!
The technical specifications, sizes and weight of the GM 2000 HPSII Combi are exactly the same as of the GM 2000 HPS II Ultraport.
HPS stands for High Precision and Speed and the mount is an advancement of the known GM 2000 QCI of 10Micron with the same proven mechanics, however, less load-carrying capacity than this - and with it highly transportable.
The GM 2000 HPS reaches a Satellite tracking and positioning speed from 20 degrees / sek. with an average positioning accuracy <20" and a tracking accuracy of approx. 1"/15min (peak to peak).
The GM 2000 HPS disposes, in addition, of high-precision Absolut-Encoders on both axes which opens absolutely new possibilities. The mount never losesits orientation, even if one axis is shifted by hand. Also after a power failure no new Alignment is necessary. In the mobile company the mount is quicker and easier to instal and to align than any conventional equatorial mount.

HPS Features
HPS stands for High Precision and Speed and the mount is a further development of the known GM2000 QCI of 10micron with the same proven mechanics but less capacity than this – and thus easier to transport.
MECHANICS
- Premium materials and processing for high quality and durability.
- No casting parts, all pieces are CNC-milled.
- High-precision traditional worm-wheel drives and clutches for thebest reliability.
- Internal wiring – no external mount cables.
- High torque brushless servo motors, maintanence free, allowing a pointing speed of up to 20°/s (GM 2000).
- Proprietary motor drive electronic board for easy servicing.
ELECTRONICS
- Closed loop system with on-axis encoders feedback.

FIRMWARE
- Powerful firmware featuring advanced mount modeling, with several parameters computation (refraction, optical/mechanical flexures, leap second, mount orientation, object motion, clock synchronization, temperature etc.) and special functions (dual tracking, assisted polar alignment procedure etc.): the only way for perfect unguided tracking during long exposures (up to 0.6" RMS accuracy).
- Intuitively operated system, proprietary motor controller with temperature compensated clock, onboard industrial grade Linux computer – intelligence built-in.
- No external PC or laptop mandatory in the field – all functions in the onboard computer can be operated via stand-alone hand control unit (Keypad).
- Precise multistar pointing model, suitable for applications such as high precision spectroscopy, TLE manager for satellite tracking, orbital parameters management for minor planets and comets, individual observing sessions management and much more.
- Stable pointing models for safe East/West load reversal – recordable models database for different telescope setups and accessories configuration.
- Precise and fast polar alignment procedure, managed by the internal software and executable in minutes.
- Fully remote controlled via your observatory PC through 10/100/1000 LAN or WiFi, thanks to a well documented command protocol and drivers, via custom software or standard planetarium software.
- Manual-, Automatic- (ClockSync proprietary software) or GPSbased time; leap second support and full computation of the UT1/ UTC timescales.
- Electronic balance feature.
- Remote diagnostics web assist option with. dedicated server.
Important note:
- The Price does not include the counterwights and the power supply unit, these must be ordered in addition.
To avoid loss of warranty, only power supplies approved by us from our price list may be used. - When purchasing a 10Micron mount, the heavy shipping box #1452066 is included.
