The EM-500 Temma II slews at 560X the Sidereal rate. The Temma II GoTo System can be operated via The Sky, Level IV software and is closed-loop. This means that the telescope can be moved manually without restarting the Goto system. The mount can also be operated in manual (non-Goto) mode without connecting to a computer and dual-axis tracking is available in this mode.   The self-contained illuminated polar finder is accurate to two arc minutes of the pole. Auto guider and CCD cables are available for most CCD cameras including serial, RJ-11, and USB connectors. Main gears are phosphor-bronze with matching molly-steel worms for greater accuracy and durability vs. aluminum & stainless steel. New, precision micro-stepping motors provide high durability with softer pulse-peaks for better imaging.
