ASA RC600 + DDM200 + polar wedge
ASA at its best!
The RC600_2 package combines the /RC600/ OTA with our high-weight capacity /DDM200 mount/. This robust system can optionally be used in Twin Mode (multiple systems on one mount).

Software: ASA Software package with a platform-independent Ascom Alpaca API (via TCP/IP), compatibility with numerous programs, and many additional API features for:
• Creating and optimizing pointing files
• MLPT (e.g., usable with a N.I.N.A plugin)
• Uploading and tracking TLE and CPF satellite orbits
• Orbit corrections when satellite tracking (autoguiding with external CCD cameras)
• Focus control also via Ascom Alpaca API
• Covers (if installed) via Ascom Alpaca API
Max. slew speeds: Up to 50 degrees per second
Pointing Accuracy (20° to 85°): <8” RMS with pointing model and ASA telescope
Tracking Accuracy (20° to 85° – unguided, with current pointingfile): <0,25” RMS within 5 minutes
System Natural Frequency: 10 Hz or greater
Electronic: Our closed loop direct drive systems, sensor technology and observatory safety modules play a major role in achieving optimum results. All moving accessory components are equipped with high-resolution encoders and closed-loop feedback systems. We provide event timer modules, and remote controllable Software. /More/
Optic: Only the best for your telescope!We believe that the most important part in producing optics is the testing. So ASA decided that we invest in the best test equipment available, remove any measuring error as good as possible and use real values in our specifications. /More/
Technology: Our mounts are manufactured with the lastest CNC technology. /More/
Software: Platform independent API Connection. /More/
Direct Drive: No gears NO belts. Precise closed loop control.We developed our own direct drive controller and motor system. No gears or belts are needed, there is no transmission no periodic error or backlash. /More/
