Core Hardware Matrix

  • Equatorial Mount Series: AZ‑GTI, NEQ6, EQ8‑R, EQ10 heavy‑duty equatorial mounts. Featuring high tracking accuracy and ample payload margin, they support long‑term fixed‑point tracking for large‑aperture telescopes, and serve as the primary mounting platform for domestic campus observatories.
  • Large‑aperture Tubes: Newtonian reflectors, RC reflectors, Maksutov‑Cassegrain telescopes. High light‑gathering power for deep‑sky imaging and group visual teaching.
  • Full‑automatic GOTO System: Massive celestial object database supporting automatic object finding and auto‑guiding, suitable for student teaching and STEM‑focused astrophotography.
  • Standard universal T‑mount: Compatible with mainstream astronomical cameras such as ZWO and QHYCCD, enabling integrated deployment with third‑party optical hardware.
