PERFECT IMAGING PERFORMANCE
ASA Direct Drive Mount DDM85
Despite of its weight, this mount is still portable. One can split the mount into two parts. Each part has a weight of approximately 19 kg. The DDM85 comes in three distinct models with carrying capacity of 45, 65 and 100kg respectively.
The tracking accuracy is excellent and therefore in most cases one can turn off guiding. This is impressively demonstrated in this PEM-PRO-record. Tracking without correction via autoguider over a period of one hour shows 0,68” peak to peak and 0,18” RMS, respectively (the setup used for this record was: ASA DDM85 and ASA 16N OK3).
