Basic HyperTune ® service for your German equatorial mount
The HyperTune ® Express service is for those owners who want a quick, inexpensive service to keep their mount in top operating condition and don't need the HyperTune ® Standard service.
Your mount is cleaned, greased, adjusted to perfection, and controller updated, and we look for any obvious signs of wear and tear and make adjustments and minor repairs as needed.
The HyperTune ® Express service includes but is not limited to:
- Complete inspection of the mount head.
- Worm gear meshing is reset and checked for grease filling (cleaned if necessary).
- Adjustment of backlash settings in RA and DEC.
- Tightening, resetting or replacement of set screws from motors and gears as necessary.
- Training of RA and DEC on goto mounts.
- Alignment of polar scope parallel to dovetail plate.
- Stress check and tightening of dovetail (shims added if needed).
- Flashing of firmware if needed (customer may need to supply flash cable for some mounts).
- Alignment testing and home position marking.
Your mount is returned to you working better than ever.
Some mount upgrades offered by Deep Space Products that do not require complete disassembly of the mount like encoder wheels (LXD mounts) may be purchased separately and installed professionally by us as part of the HyperTune ® Express service.
Note: If during the HyperTune ® Express service something is found to be broken or out of tune badly, the HyperTune ® Standard service may be recommended to you.
