Precision-Target Mount
A precision pointing mount platform that accurately points to and tracks celestial bodies.
Precision-Targeting Mount for Astronomical Observation
The Astro series is a pointing mount designed for astronomical observation and precise tracking, covering everything from mechanical structure and actuation to control software
It is an integrated system directly designed and validated by Rainbow Robotics.
By applying the precise actuation and balance control technologies accumulated through humanoid robot development to ASTRO, unlike conventional astronomical mounts
We have realized an ultra-lightweight structure that enables stable pointing and tracking even without a center of gravity.
Despite its ultra-lightweight and ultra-compact design, the Astro series provides precise angle control and stable long-duration tracking performance, and,
It is used across a wide range of fields, from astrophotography and satellite tracking to research, education, and public observation.
The ASTRO Series is organized into the following lineup according to payload and precision requirements.
A pioneering model that opened the era of harmonic-drive mounts
RST-135
A high-precision mount with a high-resolution encoder that minimizes tracking error (+/-2.5 arcsec)
RST-135E
Supports 30 kg payloads with a built-in safety brake
RST-300
Observation mount focused on stability and durability, featuring a worm gear reducer
MC700GE-II
A heavy-duty mount for large professional observatories, capable of carrying 24-inch-class telescopes
RST-2000F
A precision astronomical mount platform for accurate pointing and long-duration tracking
By applying harmonic gear reducers instead of worm gears, ASTRO minimizes backlash and provides stable precision tracking performance without cumulative micro-error during long-duration tracking.
By applying harmonic gear reducers instead of worm gears, ASTRO minimizes backlash and provides stable precision tracking performance without cumulative micro-error during long-duration tracking.
Precision actuation and torque-control technologies enable stable pointing and tracking without counterweights, supporting high payloads with an ultra-light structure.
AL6061 aluminum alloy and precision CNC machining create a lightweight, highly rigid structure that suppresses micro-vibration and improves tracking stability.
Built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and home sensors automate initial setup, while SkySafari and ASCOM Driver support reliable remote GOTO and autoguiding.
Domestic development and production reduce uncertainty around technical support and service while enabling long-term stable operation.
ASTRO is not just a simple astronomical observation instrument,
It is a platform used in various specialized fields that require precision orientation and tracking.
Automatically points to stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies and performs long-duration precision tracking for high-resolution astrophotography
Used for astronomical research, satellite orbit analysis, and monitoring of hazardous space objects such as asteroids
Used as educational astronomical observation and practice equipment at universities, research institutes, and science museums
Used for satellite tracking, laser communication, and specialized research requiring high-precision pointing
