The Explore Scientific PMC-Eight G11 GoTo equatorial mount brings observatory-grade stability to serious deep-sky astrophotography. Built on Scott Losmandy's legendary G-11 German equatorial mount and driven by the Explore Scientific PMC-Eight electronics, this system carries heavy imaging rigs and tracks with the precision that long-exposure work demands.

A German equatorial mount follows the sky on a single axis once polar aligned, and the PMC-Eight adds robust computerized GoTo so you can slew to targets and track them automatically — controlled wirelessly or wired from your device.
