EQ6 SkyScan SUPER HEAVY-DUTY EQUATORIAL MOUNT

EQ6 Pro SynScan SUPER HEAVY-DUTY EQUATORIAL MOUNT

For amateur astronomers seeking superior equatorial control and the ease of a precision computerized GOTO system, the EQ6 SynScan is your answer. The Sky-Watcher EQ6 (NEQ6) SynScan is designed with the novice user in mind. With the user friendly pushbutton hand control, locating and viewing the treasures of the night sky becomes as easy as a walk in the park. The hand control allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The user friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions.

The EQ6 SynScan also comes with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate:

  • Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute. Accuracy enhanced by software collimation error (mount mechanical error) compensation.
  • Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven.
  • Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X).
  • AutoGuider Interface for astro-photography.
  • Guiding speed selectable from 0.25X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1X.
  • Object database containing complete M, NGC, and IC catalogues.
  • Built in Polarscope
  • Minimal vibration for steady long-exposure photography.

Please note that the product specification has been improved and now goes under the name NEQ6 PRO.
The differences are two fold:

1) A counterweight extension bar is included in the package – the mount is still supplied with 2 x counterweights.
2) The mount is now supplied with TWO saddle plates
A Sky-Watcher 45mm and 75mm (fitted as standard) . They are easily interchangeable and can be removed by loosening 3 x Allen screws.
