MKS 5000 Printed Circuit Board

Please note the MKS 5000 has been discontinued.

To our customers who need MKS 5000 replacement-boards, we apologize for the inconvenience. Last year, supply-chain disruptions prevented their further manufacture.

Though it’s not yet ready, a robust solution is coming.

This past April at NEAF, we announced the new MKS 6000 telescope control system with estimated fourth quarter availability — we remain on track to have them ready by then. The MKS 6000 telescope control system will include USB C, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and three high-power XT60 ports on its redesigned instrument panel.

The soon-to-be-released MKS 6000 Upgrade Kits will provide everything needed to upgrade your mount. If you prefer, you’ll have the option of shipping your mount to our factory to have us perform the work.

Every gear-driven Paramount model we’ve delivered since the original Paramount ME in 2002 will be retrofittable with the new MKS 6000 telescope control system by purchasing model-specific upgrade kits.

If you would like to be contacted with details when the MKS 6000 Upgrade Kits are available, please click on the following link:

I’m interested. Please let me know when the MKS 6000 Upgrade Kits are ready.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
