When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) because it will precisely follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. For observers, a GEM makes it easy to keep your celestial target in your eyepiece. For imagers, it helps you avoid common astrophotography pitfalls like field rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky or a bright city sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GOTO system in your arsenal of astronomical tools that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is internally complex, the GOTO system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that is routinely updated to ensure it remains a relevant resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur commitment to creating a streamlined GOTO mount is obvious in other design choices. The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod.

Different tones will identify various precious metals buried up to 6 inches, and LED lights allow for low light or nighttime searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA metal detector contains a coil of wire (wrapped around the circular head at the end of the handle) known as the \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003etransmitter coil\u003c\/span\u003e. When electricity flows through the coil, a magnetic field is created all around it. As you sweep the detector over the ground, you make the magnetic field move around too. If you move the detector over a metal object, the moving magnetic field affects the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.explainthatstuff.com\/atoms.html\"\u003eatoms\u003c\/a\u003e inside the metal. In fact, it changes the way the electrons (tiny particles \"orbiting\" around those atoms) move. Now if we have a changing magnetic field in the metal, the ghost of James Clerk Maxwell tells us we must also have an electric current moving in there too. In other words, the metal detector creates (or \"induces\") some electrical activity in the metal. But then Maxwell tells us something else interesting too: if we have electricity moving in a piece of metal, it must create some magnetism as well. So, when you move a metal detector over a piece of metal, the magnetic field coming from the detector causes another magnetic field to appear around the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's this second magnetic field, around the metal, that the detector picks up. The metal detector has a second coil of wire in its head (known as the \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003ereceiver coil\u003c\/span\u003e) that's connected to a circuit containing a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.explainthatstuff.com\/loudspeakers.html\"\u003eloudspeaker\u003c\/a\u003e. As you move the detector about over the piece of metal, the magnetic field produced by the metal cuts through the coil. Now if you move a piece of metal through a magnetic field, you make electricity flow through it (remember, that's how a generator works). So, as you move the detector over the metal, electricity flows through the receiver coil, making the loudspeaker click or beep. Hey presto, the metal detector is triggered and you've found something! The closer you move the transmitter coil to the piece of metal, the stronger the magnetic field the transmitter coil creates in it, the stronger the magnetic field the metal creates in the receiver coil, the more current that flows in the loudspeaker, and the louder the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"video\"\u003eVideo\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jH7YEaByTgs\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003ch1 id=\"extras\"\u003eExtras\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/02d3287.netsolhost.com\/brands\/exploreone\/8820001\/88-20001.pdf\"\u003eDownload Manual Here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eCA Residents: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/pages\/prop65\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProp 65 WARNING(S)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49114820706474,"sku":"88-20001-B2","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1475\/4218\/files\/EX_88-20001_MetalDetector_2.jpg?v=1787498746"}],"url":"https:\/\/wiccancenter.com\/fr\/collections\/explore-scientific.oembed","provider":"Wiccan Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
