10Micron GM1000 HPS — original 25 kg model

The original 10Micron GM1000 HPS is a 25 kg instrument-capacity German equatorial mount. It weighs approximately 19.5 kg without accessories and uses absolute encoders on both axes to close the control loop around its precision worm-drive system.

Mechanics and adjustment

The manufacturer brochure lists 30 mm alloy-steel axes, preloaded tapered roller bearings and 250-tooth, 125 mm bronze worm wheels. Slewing is adjustable from 2 to 15°/s. Latitude adjustment covers 0–82°, with a separate 90° option, and fine azimuth adjustment is ±7.5°.

Model-based tracking

The onboard controller supports multi-star pointing models with up to 100 stars, compensating polar alignment, orthogonality, atmospheric refraction and flexure.

Power and installation

The mount uses 24 V DC, with approximately 0.5 A tracking current, 3 A at maximum speed and 4 A peak in the brochure. The stainless-steel counterweight shaft is 30 mm diameter and weighs 1.7 kg.
