Mount Hub Pro Ultimate.

Mount Hub Pro Ultimate.
The best just got better!!
For many years Hitecastro’s ‘Mount Hub Pro’ has been a firm favourite amongst astronomers.
Integrating a number of the important accessories commonly used for an astro setup has enabled
astronomers to simplify their setup and reduce the dreaded cable mess which can be so
problematic.
The ‘Mount Hub Pro Ultimate’ is the next evolution of that idea. By placing the device between the
telescope and the mount, the Mount Hub Pro Ultimate provides a solid and convenient location. Its
integrated USB Hub, Stepper Motor focus controller, Power and Dew ports can be reached easily
from the telescope meaning that cabling moves as a unit completely eliminating the possibility of
trailing cables snagging and cutting your observing or imaging night short. Additionally the MHP
Ultimate provides those with remote observatories a secure and reliable methodology for reducing
complexity and thus decreasing the chance of a failure.
The housing of the MHP has been precision CNC machined from a solid block of high grade
aluminium and black anodised thus delivering maximum strength to enable it to carry even the
heaviest of loads. The top of the unit is fitted with a quality ‘Losmandy’ style dovetail to receive your
telescope. A male dovetail is fitted underneath to ensure a secure fitting to the vast majority of
mounts. Additionally the male dovetail can be removed revealing a range of hole patterns designed
to fit many of the popular mounts enabling a direct connection between the mount hub pro ultimate
and mounts such as Astro-Physics, Paramount and many others.
The MHP Ultimate integrates a host of features


Power in socket ensuring only one power cable needs to run to your setup.
4 x Power outlets to power your equipment
