Losmandy Titan
The Losmandy Titan Mount is an equatorial mount that supports up to 100lb instrument weight, and includes the head, weight shaft and two 21lb weights, extra 7lb and 11lb weights are available. This one is definately for the serious astronomer who has a high quality scope and wants a mount to do it justice. It looks great too! With smart black anodised aluminium and stainless steel, precision engineering and state of the art electronics it make this mount probably the best in its class for telescope tubes up to 100lbs in weight. The Losmandy Titan Mount offers solid, reliable, accurate tracking: +/- 5 arc sec. or better in four modes, a masterpiece of design in it's own right. Gemini Goto Complete with the Gemini 'goto' computer system, designed for the Losmandy HGM200, G-11 and G-8 mounts, amazingly smooth, for fast and accurate slewing. The Gemini system has many features designed to quickly and accurately point the telescope to an object, then track it with even higher precision than the previous digital stepper drive used by Losmandy.
