L-series out of this World Tracking Performance

The L-series lineup was born out of the dream to create the most versatile and cost-effective direct drive mount. Whether your goal is capturing beautiful astrophotographs that are out of this world, tracking fast moving satellites, or tracking objects that are not in orbit, the L-series will help you reach those goals all while being extremely simple to operate and maintain.

The results of the L-series tracking performance whether at sidereal, or other rates utilized by astrophotographers,  speaks for itself in these sample images captured by our customers.

Tracking LEO satellites moving at velocities over 5 degrees/second is a walk in the park for the L-series mount as seen below.

Tracking the LEO tether deployed by TEPCE in this GIF shows just how amazing the L-series tracking performance is. We used a CDK24 atop the L-600 mount to entirely open loop track the LEO satellite with publicly available TLE commands issued to the mount via our PWI4 software available here.
