미드에서 16인치 20인치 RCX에는 새로운 독일식 적도의를 내세울 모양입니다.
설명을 해 놓은 것을 보니 13.8인치 웜힐 그리고 기어산이 650이라는데 게다가 원격기능이 내장되었다고 하네요.....
뭔가 대단할 것 같습니다.
아마도 이전 새로 개발한 RCX에서의 적도의 신뢰성이 유명 아마츄어들에게 선택 받지 못하는 요인이라는 것을 알아차린 것은 아닐까요?
워낙 공격적인 R&D에 군소 업체들은 긴장을 할 것 같습니다.

16?and 20?RCX400 on Meade뭩 new MAX MOUNT to create the world뭩 first fully integrated telescope system (telescope/mount/software). For under $30,000, serious astronomers can now have 20?of RCX optical performance on a giant robotic equatorial mount. A dedicated-amateur could still piece together a lesser system the old fashioned way for 3 times the cost, but why? The MAX is truly the last mount an astronomer will ever need. With a 20?OTA, MAX is larger than Goliath and has a total payload capacity of over 400 lbs! (including counter weights). One of our beta testers commented on his experience with the MAX MOUNT by saying, 밿t뭩 built like a tank made by Swiss watchmakers.? A few of its features include: 650 gear teeth on the RA and Dec drive (the gears are the same size on the RA and Dec. axes. The worm is 1.1667?in diameter and the worm gear is a massive 13.8?in diameter), 0-90 degree latitude, internal cabling, interchangeable quick-release dovetail plates, local/network control, remote/web control, 3 USB2 ports and a clutchless, fully-enveloped, hard-loaded worm drive. The MAX MOUNT and ALL RCX400 telescopes will be manufactured at Meade뭩 state-of-the art design and manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
FEATURES:
All RCX400 Telescopes come with Meade's Ultra High Transmission Coatings (UHTC?, Electronic Front Focusing System, Laser-Aligned, Fixed Oversized Primary Mirror, Electronic Collimation, Computer-Optimized Baffling, Cooling Fan, Multi-port control panels, Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Optical Tube, Built-In Anti-Dew Heater, Sony GPS Receiver, Level North Alignment Technology, Smart Mount, Smart Drive with PPEC (Permanent Periodic Error Correction), Autostar II handbox with145,000 object library, AutoAlign? 24mm Series 5000 UWA Eyepiece, Includes USB Cable and Autostar Suite Astronomer Edition Software, and 2" Diagonal Mirror w/UHTC.
