Complete HyperTune ® service for your German equatorial mount
The HyperTune ® Standard service is for those owners who want their mount cleaned, repaired and adjusted to top performance.
The HyperTune ® Standard service includes but is not limited to:
- Complete inspection of the mount head.
- Complete dismantle of the mount head.
- Inspection and cleaning of each part - removing all metal burrs, shavings, thick grease and foreign objects.
- High resolution sanding and polishing of moving internal parts to a mirror-like finish resulting in high smoothness of internal metal parts and “glide like” performance from your mount.
- Inspection and adjustment of motors and encoders with gear set screws replaced as necessary.
- Reassembly using high grade synthetic grease.
- Resetting of worm gear meshing.
- Adjustment of backlash settings in RA and DEC.
- Stress checking and tightening of dovetail (shims added if needed).
- Flashing of firmware if needed (LXD mounts).
You will receive your mount, along with a mount plaque for everyone to know that you have the best performing scope around! In addition, you will get a complete test report and step-check sheet verifying that all items of the HyperTune ® were performed, along with special notes if any additional repairs are recommended for your mount.
Your mount will be evaluated and you will be notified if any repairs beyond those listed above might be necessary. The HyperTune ® service doesn't include any repair work not listed above. Additional repairs may be available for an extra fee which will be quoted to you for your approval. Otherwise, every aspect of your mount is enhanced or repaired without replacement.
Other mount upgrades offered by Deep Space Products like Teflon® bearings, ceramic hybrid bearings and encoder wheels (LXD mounts) may be purchased separately and installed professionally by us as part of the HyperTune ® Standard service.
