In fact, being able to vary the latitude according to the observation area is not easy.<br \/>\nAnother challenge was the resolution of the drag problem that placed limits on the tracking time. In fact, after passing a certain time tracking, the system began to slip and no longer &#8220;grip&#8221; making the observation &#8220;useful&#8221; only a few minutes. Now it comes to an hour tracking.<br \/>\nWe have implemented load capacity of the previous version; now it is possible to use Dobson up to 24 &#8220;and up to a weight of 80 kg.<br \/>\nThe platform has the possibility to change the latitude of 2 \u00b0 in 2 \u00b0 so you can bring it to the various \u201cstar party\u201d even if with considerable variation of latitude knowing that you will have to act only a little on the speed control after having changed the latitude.<br \/>\nWith the remote control you can increase or decrease the tracking speed and, with a dedicated button, you can return the platform to the starting position.<br \/>\nThis electric system is powered by a 12Volt battery (not included) that is positioned under the basament.<br \/>\nMany other technical and mechanical details are described in this manual that will confirm the right choice of your purchase and will give you proof of superior quality by putting you in the best condition for your astronomical observations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIMENSION:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\"><span title=\"\">Length;<\/span> <span title=\"\">60 cm.<\/span><br \/>\n<span title=\"\">Width: 50 cm.<\/span><br \/>\n<span title=\"\">Height: 16 cm.<\/span><br \/>\n<span title=\"\">Weight: 18 Kg.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gc2CfBHfRKM?si=oSbNQ8G7Cs6L2R8J\" width=\"515\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Eartha platform can be transported and used with a trolley (manufactured by a partner) : https:\/\/www.astrotufftruk.com<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dob-Mounted-on-Geoptik-and-ATT4-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a020&#8243; Dobson on Eartha + truk<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.geoptik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Geoptik-Base-on-ATT3-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW VERSION WITH 2 MOTORS.
