What is ProTrack™?

ProTrack™ is software technology integrated with TPoint that can be used to apply small, periodic corrections to the Paramount ME's MKS 4000 control system to improve unguided tracking results.

ProTrack gives amateur astronomers the ability to take long unguided exposures (up to 20 minutes at 100-inches of focal length) and still have pinpoint stars.  Unguided exposures of this length, with pinpoint stars, are simply not possible without this type of software and hardware integration.

The same tracking enhancement technology found in ProTrack is used to improve tracking on many of the world's largest telescopes, such as the 8-meter Gemini telescopes.

Important Note

ProTrack using TPoint for Windows works exclusively with the Paramount ME. Details for setting up and using ProTrack with your Paramount ME can be found in the Paramount ME User's Guide.
