Software Bisque Paramount ME Robotic Telescope Mount System

• The Paramount ME Robotic Telescope System features a German equatorial mount with research-grade 11-inch right ascension gears that provide unsurpassed tracking performance. Astronomers equipped with a Paramount ME are defining new levels of reliability, productivity and performance.

Hefting up to 150 pounds of astronomical equipment, and designed for uninterrupted operation, the Paramount ME can be used as a remote or Internet Astronomy solution. Through advanced CNC construction, it is field portable at 68 pounds.

The system includes the Bisque Observatory Software Suite (TheSky6 Professional Edition, CCDSoft, TPoint and ProTrack, Orchestrate, and Internet Astronomy Software Client and Server applications) as well as the Bisque TCS dual-axis DC servomotor control system with USB and serial interface, and AutoHome start-up.

The Paramount ME is built for the digital age, featuring integrated telescope and CCD camera control, unattended start-up and automated operation, 5 arcseconds or less peak-to-peak periodic error before correction, and precision guided or unguided tracking (using TPoint and ProTrack). The result is unsurpassed image quality and observatory performance.
