Description
Programmable periodic error correction with “seeing agnostic” periodic error curve fitting is built into TheSkyX Professional Edition software supplied with the Paramount MX. AutoHome homing capability (to better than one arc second resolution with built-in sensor circuitry on each axis) ensures that the mount always knows its orientation (after an initialization process called “homing”), even after power failure. There is a configurable park position for operation in a remote location dome. There is a soft “reboot” capability. This means that the control system can be restarted through software and does not have to be manually turned off, then on.
Supplied software: The Paramount MX Series 6 comes with the world’s best and most powerful astronomy suite of astronomy software.
- Paramounts unsurpassed pointing and tracking performance is made possible by its integratedTPoint modeling and ProTrack technologies. For more information about why accurate pointing is non-trivial,click here.
- By employing TPoints calibration and telescope modeling tools, youll enjoy all sky pointing accuracies below 30 arcseconds RMS. Nothing outperforms that and thatswithouton-axis absolute encoders.
- Operating in conjunction with TPoint, ProTrack continuously updates the mounts position in both axes to correct system-wide tracking errors including tube flexure, atmospheric refraction, polar misalignment, harmonic errors caused by evenly slightly misaligned encoders or the main gear, and more.
- On-axis absolute encodersalonecannot correct those errors which exist with all telescopes. A properly applied telescope model is required to achieve superior tracking.
- Even without on-axis absolute encoders, 5-to-10-minute unguided exposures are common with many enjoying up to20 minutes.
- For more information about the differences between motor-based and on-axis absolute on axis encoders, please see the FAQs.
- The includedTheSky Universal Bundle(retail $1,095) is an integrated easy-to-use, application consisting of TheSky Professional, TPoint, Cameras+, Domes, Multi-OS+, and Weather modules. Enjoy the simplicity of controlling your cameras and astrophotography devices with one application.
- TheSkys Accurate Polar Alignment feature does not require pole visibility and helps achieve exceptional polar alignment.
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux (ARM64 and x86_64 processors).
- TheSkys user-interface is consistent across all operating systems. You can install TheSky on multiple operating simultaneously on up to six computers per OS. Why paint yourself or your institution into a corner?
Capable of backyard observatory, field portable, or remotely-located robotic operation via the internet, the Software Bisque Paramount MX will provide the advanced astrophotographer or dedicated visual observer with truly professional-grade heavy-duty performance in a compact package.
