This combination produces high torque for responsive slewing and tracking, while eliminating the backlash inherent in traditional worm-gear systems. The drive has a periodic error duration of 288 seconds, which is smoothly corrected by autoguiding for round stars in long exposures. A key trade-off for this portable design is the absence of an integrated polar scope, requiring software-based polar alignment using a camera and applications like the ASIAIR, SharpCap, or N.I.N.A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity for Any Workflow: WiFi, USB, ST-4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZWO AM5N integrates into any modern astrophotography setup.

head weighing just 14.9 lb. Its strain wave gear system and stepper motors deliver a 0.17\" resolution for precise tracking, while the full 0° to 90° latitude range makes it operational from the equator to the poles. With a maximum capacity of 66 lb. using an optional counterweight, the AM7 supports large optical tubes for serious astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e44 lb.

Mount\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of the AM7's design is its strain wave gear and synchronous belt drive system, which achieves a high payload-to-weight ratio that conventional worm gear mounts cannot match. This allows you to carry up to 44 lb. of imaging equipment without the need for a counterweight, drastically reducing the total weight and complexity of your field setup. For heavier optical tubes, adding a counterweight to the included M16 bar increases the total capacity to 66 lb., putting large refractors and SCTs well within its capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZWO AM7 vs. AM5: A 33% Payload Increase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor imagers deciding between ZWO's harmonic mounts, the choice comes down to payload.
