iOptron iEQ30 Pro mount

And oldie but a goodie here, when the iOptron iEQ30 Pro mount was used in the Panoptes Exoplanet Search: https://scopetrader.com/ioptron-ieq30-pro-mount-performance-in-the-panoptes-exoplanet-search/

Panoptes is designed to discover transiting exoplanets by watching large sections of the sky over long periods of time. The idea is straightforward. Monitor thousands of stars continuously and look for the small dips in brightness that occur when a planet passes in front of its host star.

That kind of work does not require one massive telescope. It requires many smaller systems working together, each covering a wide field of view and feeding data into a larger pipeline.

That is where something like the iOptron iEQ30 comes into play.
