This is a gorgeous Paramount MyT mount head on the MyT tripod with TheSky Fusion controller.  It is 6-7 years old; it sat unused in its box for 5 years until the owner gave it to his son-in-law to use.  He used it just 4 times before deciding he wanted something much lighter for visual use.  The fact that it was only used 4 times shows:  this is in perfect, pristine, like new condition, without a mark on it.  It starts up, hums and moves beautifully.  Everything works.  

The new MyT mount retails for $8595, and there is 6 weeks lead time to get one.  The MyT tripod has been replaced by the Helium, but sold for $1783; TheSky Fusion is $1499.  This is almost $12,000 worth of gear for just $5000:  over HALF-OFF!  While the mount does work with the included hand controller, to control this through your computer, there is a software transfer fee that you will have to contact Software Bisque for and pay.  This includes the original manual and quick start guide.  

This is on display in our showroom, and is available for pickup.  We DO have the boxes for this, so we can ship this to you for a $99 shipping charge.  

The original copy below is for the MyT series 6, which may not be fully applicable to this 6-7 year old model.  

 

 

Introducing the new MYT Series 6 portable observatory. 

The Paramount MYT™ Series 6 represents the latest in gear-driven German equatorial mount performance.

Its new features include a 40% instrument capacity increase, an option for absolute digital encoders, and multiple connectivity options. Watch this video for a quick overview of what’s new with the Series 6 Paramounts. 

Being the lightest of all the Paramounts, the MYT is the ultimate grab-and-go observatory class mount.

Hardware Specifications

  • 70 lb. (32 kg) instrument capacity; 140 lb. (64 kg) maximum payload capacity (instruments + counterweights).
  • Weighs 35 lb. (16 kg) without counterweights or the counterweight shaft.
  • All-sky pointing accuracies at or below 30 arcseconds RMS (see Software Specifications below for details).
  • Its standard motor-based encoders provide:
    • A maximum peak-to-peak periodic error before correction is seven (7) arcseconds.
    • After a one-time periodic error training, the peak-to-peak periodic error is typically 1 arcsecond or less.
    • Belt-driven pulleys with spring-loaded worm gears produce virtually zero backlash.
    • No clutches mean the TPoint™ model’s pointing accuracy is maintained.
    • AutoHome™ homing capability ensures the mount always knows its orientation (after performing an initializing process called “homing” which usually takes a minute or less).
  • Optional on-axis absolute encoders provide:
    • No mount initialization (a.k.a. homing) required.
    • No periodic error.
    • No backlash.
    • Exceptional TPoint™ pointing and tracking results from fewer calibration points which saves time.
    • 0.02 arcsecond resolution extended temperature range absolute on-axis encoders operate from –40° C to +80° C.
    • If you skip absolute on-axis absolute encoders now, they can be purchased and installed in the field later.
  • All of the telescope control system’s motor, power, and electronics cables are conveniently housed inside the mount to prevent snags.
  • Ample room to run additional through-the-mount cables.
  • Advanced MKS 6000 telescope control system lets you connect via USB-C, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi
  • Three high-power XT60 ports on the Instrument Panel.
  • Includes one stainless steel 20 lb. (9 kg) counterweight to balance 25-30 lb. (11-14 kg) of telescope. You may need to purchase more for heavier payloads.
  • Its included drop-in dovetail on the Versa-Plate™ accepts most telescopes and makes installation simpler.
  • 48V DC power supply and PC-to-mount USB and Ethernet cables included.
  • Durable, fade-resistant red powder coating with black anodized finish; external components are machined aluminum alloy.
  • Includes Hand Controller for manual mount operation.

 

Software Specifications

  • Paramount’s unsurpassed pointing and tracking performance is made possible by its integrated TPoint™ modeling and ProTrack™ technologies.
  • By employing TPoint’s calibration and telescope modeling tools, you’ll enjoy all sky pointing accuracies below 30 arcseconds RMS. Nothing outperforms that — and that’s without on-axis absolute encoders.
  • Operating in conjunction with TPoint™, ProTrack™ continuously updates the mount’s position in both axes to correct system-wide tracking errors including tube flexure, atmospheric refraction, polar misalignment, harmonic errors caused by evenly slightly misaligned encoders or the main gear, and more.
    • On-axis absolute encoders alone cannot correct those errors which exist with all telescopes. A properly applied telescope model is required to achieve superior tracking.
    • Even without on-axis absolute encoders, 5-to-10-minute unguided exposures are common with many enjoying up to 20 minutes.
  • All the included software is integrated into a single, easy-to-use, application consisting of TheSky™ Professional, TPoint™, Cameras+, Domes, Multi-OS+, and Weather modules. Enjoy the simplicity of controlling your cameras and astrophotography devices with one application. The included TheSky™ Universal Bundle represents a $1,095 value.
  • Its Accurate Polar Alignment feature does not require pole visibility.
  • Compatible with Windows™, macOS™, and Linux (arm64 and x86_64 processors).
  • TheSky's user-interface is consistent across all operating systems. You can install TheSky on multiple operating simultaneously on up to six computers per OS.
  • Why paint yourself or your institution into a corner?
