The OpenAstroMount is a mount meant for larger telescopes that the OpenAstroTracker can’t handle. It’s fairly heavy and bulky, but can pack quite some payload. It is the first mount ever to have built in autoPA, a feature that we at OpenAstroTech developed and that first came to OAT as an addon. Both RA and DEC are driven entirely by belts, resulting in extremely low backlash.
