The Skys The Limit!

This high-end mount isnt for everyone, but if you want the last mount youll ever need, this is it. Coupled with the Professional Astronomers Software Suite, (The Sky, CCDSoft, Orchestrate, & TPoint) this first-class mount will astound you with repeatable sub-arc-min pointing night after night. At 75 lbs, it is still portable, though a permanent pier mount makes for quick set-up. Im able to have the system initialized and pointing in less time than it takes to pull the TV-102 out of its case, take it outside and placet it on its tripod!
The average wait time for a ME from the factory has been up to a year; in-stock availability from AWT&B delivers nearly-instant gratification!

Ergonomic design - all edges are smooth for easy handling.
Stainless steel custom made locking knob will not break.
The locking knob can be tightened with a hexagon key (or socket set screw, Allen wrench) for absolute security of the counterweight (changes in temperature will not affect the knob's grip).
Spring-loaded, captivated brass plunger ensures a tight grip and easy adjustment on the counterweight shaft. Also, the brass plunger is always retracted, so that the counterweight easily slides on the counterweight shaft, regardless of its orientation.
Tri-grip™ counterweight bore grips the counterweight shaft on three contact points. With three contact points, once tightened, the counterweights will not slip.
Adjustment screw is recessed and will not get damaged or bent inadvertently.
Research-grade 11.45-inch right ascension and 7.45-inch declination gears drive the Paramount. Guaranteed less than 5 arcseconds peak-to-peak periodic error.
Multi-port input panel to run all your equipment.
Telescope serial port
CCD camera power
Two auxiliary serial ports
Parallel port
Focuser port
Autoguider input port
Two additional auxiliary power ports
The Paramount ME even has a large conduit to run additional cables through the mount.
The electronic panel has an easily removable panel to access fuses, and electronic switches for Flash RAM control system software upgrades.
Entire mount is situated on an "azimuth bearing." This allows adjustments to the mount's azimuth during polar alignment without disturbing the mount's altitude. This makes the polar alignment process much more straightforward.
The altitude adjustment "jacking screw" allows you to make very fine adjustments in to the mount's altitude, again, making polar alignment simpler.
Altitude markers are inlaid into the wedge.
