10Micron AZ2000 HPS Combi DT Set

10Micron AZ2000 HPS Combi DT Set combines the 50 kg primary-capacity alt-azimuth mount with the maker’s 10M200DAZ double-telescope configuration. Absolute on-axis encoders, brushless servos and the precision worm drive provide the same model-based control architecture as the underlying mount.

Double-telescope arrangement

The matched kit provides a second instrument position, with a published secondary capacity of 35 kg. Its CNC-machined, black-anodised aluminium hardware accepts the manufacturer’s supported clamping arrangements. Clamping plates are selected and ordered separately; the kit is not a pair of included universal saddles.

Tracking and imaging

The internal pointing model supports up to 100 alignment points with refraction and mechanical-error compensation. Alt-azimuth long-exposure imaging still requires field derotation. Lodual or Maxidual plates can support additional instrument arrangements, but all loads must remain within the appropriate primary and secondary limits.

Control and standard equipment

The system uses 24 V DC and provides standalone keypad operation plus compatible computer/web control. Counterweights and a field derotator are separate. Use the model technical sheet for mechanical/electrical data and the double-kit instructions for its attachment.

10Micron double-telescope kit

Compatibility notes

AZ2000 secondary capacity conflicts: product-page text specifies 35 kg, while the current technical sheet says 40 kg. The product-page 35 kg limit is selected; no unconditional 40 kg secondary rating is assigned. Current documentation lists −30 °C operation as standard, unlike some older regional listings. DT denotes the double-telescope configuration; maker kit documentation explicitly excludes clamping plates. Package hardware is not inferred from unrelated photographs.
