A mount in a life !
Crux 320HD
Harmonic Drive equatorial Mount



The CRUX 320HD is a highly efficient, mid-sized portable equatorial mount. Despite weighing only 24kg, it boasts a high payload capacity capable of supporting up to a 35kg (12-inch) reflecting telescope. "The CRUX 320HD is a high-end, build-to-order mount."
Key features include:
Dual Harmonic Drive System: By utilizing two harmonic gears on the RA axis, it virtually eliminates backlash, resulting in powerful torque and agile guiding performance.
Precision for Long-Exposure Photography: Thanks to the "zero-backlash" advantage of strain wave gears, it delivers outstanding performance for high-precision and long-focal-length astrophotography.
Weight-Free Operation: It can handle payloads up to 15kg without any counterweights, ensuring high cost-efficiency and portability. (Note: This may vary depending on the telescope size and focal length; a conservative approach is recommended for photography.)
Versatile Hybrid Design: It effectively fulfills the roles of both a portable mid-sized mount and a fixed large-scale mount.
Semi-Permanent Durability: Based on the lifespan of its core harmonic gear components, it is built to last over a century with semi-permanent durability.
Two RA Versions: It is available in two versions: a portable observation version and a fixed photography version. The fixed version features a longer RA axis, allowing for continuous tracking across most of the sky beyond the meridian.
Remote Observatory Compatibility: Its superior performance, rigidity, and customizable design make it an ideal choice for remote observatories.
Advanced Control with TiTaN TCS: Equipped with the sophisticated TiTaN TCS control system, it achieves the highest efficiency among portable systems.
Real-Time P-Motion Control: By applying real-time Periodic Motion Control—a core feature of the TiTaN TCS—it innovatively manages periodic errors, keeping the final error value within ±5 arcseconds.
Connectivity and Expandability: The TiTaN TCS offers high scalability and supports advanced wireless environments.
