Innovative Periodic Error Correction
Traditionally, periodic errors in mounts require user measurement and correction. However, the AXJ mount, equipped with the advanced STAR BOOK TEN controller, revolutionizes this process. Unlike its predecessor, the STAR BOOK TEN permanently stores corrected periodic errors. These errors are meticulously measured at the factory across 12 points every 30 degrees of the worm gear and corrected before delivery through V-PEC (Vixen-Permanent Periodic Error Correction), which automatically activates upon use. This system achieves an impressive accuracy of +/- 4.0 arc seconds, with the option for users to enhance tracking precision by recording their periodic errors.
Belt-Drive System for Enhanced Performance
The AXJ mount introduces a cutting-edge belt-drive system, replacing traditional gear drives with a toothed belt. This adjustment results in faster reaction times, reduced backlash, and quieter operation. The mount comes with a 6x20 polar finder scope pre-installed, facilitating easy polar alignment for both northern and southern hemispheres, featuring a variable illuminated reticle with an auto-off function to customize brightness levels.
Exceptional Setting Accuracy and Load Capacity
With a setting accuracy of less than 3 arc minutes, the AXJ mount's dark field illumination, powered by a red LED, simplifies the alignment process. The reticle, also illuminated in red, aids in star alignment against the backdrop, with an automatic shutoff to conserve battery life. The newly developed EQ design incorporates two sets of bearings (four pieces) on the RA axis shaft, increasing the load capacity to 22 kg and reducing the need for counterweights.
STAR BOOK TEN Controller: A Leap Forward in Control Systems
The STAR BOOK TEN controller, with its high-resolution color monitor, represents a modern leap in mount control systems. It hosts an extensive database of over 272,000 celestial objects, including stars, Messier objects, NGC and IC objects, along with the sun, moon, and planets. This wealth of information is easily accessible by name, with detailed images and data available for each object.
