Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 equatorial GoTo Mount
The equatorial GoTo mount with Wifi Goto functionality is suitable for the observation with telescopes, but, thanks to accurate tracking, also for astrophotography. The mount supports instruments up to 7 kg. The iEXOS-100 convinces with quick set-up and uncomplicated operation. It is well suited even for beginners.

The integrated PMC-Eight tracking electronis with the free ExploreStars App:
The integrated PMC-Eight tracking electronis is comfortably controlled by your own notebook or teblet via the free ExploreStars app. The ExploreStars App is available for Windows, Android and iOS. In addition, we offer the freeASCOM POTH Client from Explore Scientific (wired or wireless) for download to work with virtually any sky software that supports ASCOM.

Telescope mounting via dovetail saddle
With suitable Vixen style dovetail bars (see accessories section), you can easily attach your telescope or camera to the mount and also detach it from the mount within seconds for transporting. The iEXOS-100 can be used very universally and supports your equipment up to 7 kg total weight with good stability.

Further information of the manufacturer:
GOTO systems play an important role in the world of amateur astronomy because they ensure users spend less time searching for particular objects and more time observing and imaging. The PMC-Eight™ with its versatile connections supported with free to download apps for Windows, Android, and iOS, or through the free to download ASCOM PMC-Eight™ driver and POTH Client to connect to your favorite ASCOM Compliant Astronomical Software, can allow you to control the telescope from a few feet away or by communicating computer-to-computer with an Internet connection from virtually anywhere in the world.

One of the standout features of the iEXOS-100 system is its German equatorial design. When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) because it will precisely follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. For observers, a GEM makes it easy to keep your celestial target in your eyepiece. For imagers, it helps you avoid common astrophotography pitfalls like field rotation.

Before you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky or a bright city sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GOTO system in your arsenal of astronomical tools that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking.

Although it is internally complex, the GOTO system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that is routinely updated to ensure it remains a relevant resource.

The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod. Other features include a bracket for holding the battery pack, which powers the PMC-Eight™ system through 8 C batteries (not included); two 1 kg counterweights for balancing; and glow-in-the-dark markers on certain points of the mount and tripod so you can stay oriented with your setup at night.

"Preis/Leistung finde ich sehr gut, nur leider muss man bei der Software die zum download angeboten wird abstriche machen. Bei mir hat sie nicht funktioniert! Weder über Andriod noch über WIN10. Ich habe die Montierung mit der ASIAir Plus gekoppelt und alles läuft TOP! Mit Guider sind Bilder ohne Probleme mit 600Sekunden Belichtungszeit möglich. Grüsse aus der Pfalz CS ***"

Für leichte Ausrüstung mit kleinem Teleskop oder Objektiven eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Mit groben Einnorden und 2 Sterne Alignment läuft sie sauber ohne Guiding 2 Minuten, mit dem Ergebnis von punktförmigen Sternen, nach. In der Preisklasse kann ich mir kaum was besseres vorstellen. Auch die Software unter Android ist für Einsteiger einfach zu verstehen und zu bedienen. Ich habe sie erst einmal mit Akkus betrieben, die halten aber locker mehr als eine Nacht durch.
Rundum ein gutes Paket und immer noch transportabel genug um es auf Wanderungen in die Berge mitzunehmen. Wer kein großes Gerät aufladen muss oder will, ist mit dieser Montierung gut bedient!

"This tracking mount is really great! Easy to assemble, works flawlessly. Very stable, easy to control via the app in tablet. Only thing it lacks is a true polar finder - you need to aim it through the hole/tunnel in RA axis lock; but works well this way. If you?re looking for non-expensive tracking mount for lighter scope, I can trully recommend this one."
