Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight Wi-Fi GOTO Equatorial Mount

The Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 is a complete astronomical computerized Wi-Fi or wired GOTO Equatorial Tracker designed beautifully for small telescopes or DSLR cameras using a standard Vixen-style dovetail plate. Utilizing a proven German equatorial design coupled with the revolutionary PMC-Eight™ motion control electronics, it flawlessly navigates and tracks objects across the deep sky. At SkyHunters, we offer this precise tracking system to step up your astrophotography game without field rotation, backed by our professional service and ongoing support.

Key Advantages

• Revolutionary PMC-Eight™ Electronics: Features a multiprocessor microcontroller running 8 independent CPU cores. This allows dedicated task handling, ensuring incredible responsiveness, tracking accuracy, and ultra-fast timing intervals.
• Flexible Wireless & Wired Control: Run your telescope from a distance via Wi-Fi using the intuitive ExploreStars app on your tablet/phone, or use a stable mini-USB connection for desktop planetarium environments.
• ASCOM & INDI Standard Compliant: Fully compatible with industry-standard astronomy software via ASCOM POTH or INDI drivers, giving you complete automation choices across major operating platforms.
• Whisper-Quiet Belt-Drive: Micro-stepper motors and precise worm gears run on a silent belt-drive setup, delivering incredibly smooth slewing and eliminating distracting vibration.
• Integrated Autoguider Interface: Equipped with an ST-4 compatible autoguider port that also supports precise pulse-guiding for long-exposure imaging setups.

Product Description

The iEXOS-100 makes exploring the universe an open-source experience. Advanced observers can write their own custom code blocks and import them directly into the system software. For plug-and-play operation, the free ExploreStars app uses a classic four-button interface or virtual joystick alongside a quick 2-star or 3-star alignment procedure. Unzipping the extended astronomical dataset instantly scales your catalog from 1,000 to over 70,000 celestial entries, complete with reference text and imagery.

Mechanical workflow features include quick-locking axis clutches for manual balancing, an altitude knob for smooth polar altitude adjustments, and a dedicated polar alignment tunnel built into the mount head base. The stainless steel tripod features a bubble level for fast levelling, while integrated glow-in-the-dark positioning markers ensure you can navigate around your physical gear without compromising your night vision adjustments.
