New AZ DDS direct drive mounts
One of our last project is a new generation of professional robotic mounts, in altazimuthal fork configuration with integrated derotator/focuser, in wich we applied our last Direct Drive System technology.
The AZ5000 DDS is able to accomodate a dedicated 24″ optics (or other custom optics until about 26″) and features a single Nasmyth focus option.
The AZ8000 DDS can accomodate a 39″ dedicated optics or other custom optics until about 40″ and features both single or double Nasmyth focus options
