Weighing only \u003cstrong\u003e5.5 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e with a payload capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e20 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e (25 kg with optional counterweight bar), the HAE43 achieves a 3.63x weight-to-load ratio with no bulky counterweights required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eAZ\/EQ dual-mode operation\u003c\/strong\u003e, the included \u003cstrong\u003eiPolar electronic polar scope\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eGo2Nova® hand controller with 212,000 object database\u003c\/strong\u003e, the HAE43 is ideal for visual observing, deep-sky astrophotography and planetary imaging on the go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarmonic Drive Technology on Both Axes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike hybrid mounts, the \u003cstrong\u003eHAE43 uses a harmonic drive gear on both RA and DEC\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 270-second gear period. This design completely eliminates conventional counterweights, reduces backlash to zero and delivers an extremely low periodic error – optimal for guided astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eElectronic Clutch and Alignment Memory\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HAE43 features an \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic electronic clutch\u003c\/strong\u003e that locks both axes on power failure, protecting the telescope even under severe imbalance. When power is restored, the \u003cstrong\u003ecomputer retains alignment in memory\u003c\/strong\u003e and automatically resumes tracking without any realignment procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCNC Aluminium and Steel Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount head is entirely machined from \u003cstrong\u003eCNC anodized aluminium and steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, with fully internal cable routing and a dual \u003cstrong\u003eLosmandy and Vixen saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e. Compatible with LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod and iOptron carbon tripod (both optional).
