Skywatcher EQ6-R  Pro Synscan heavy duty equatorial mount

A new legend is born!

The new EQ6-R PRO Synscan™ computerised Goto mounting is an exciting evolutionary progression of the continuing legend that is the EQ6 PRO. The modern optimised design of the EQ6-R PRO incorporates features that serious imagers will immediately appreciate, such as

• Increased payload capacity of 20 kg for astrophotography
• Synchronous belt driven, resulting in minimal backlash - even quieter, smoother operation and better results when guiding. Higher torque. Transmission:  180:1 worm drive + 48:12 timing belt drive + 64 micro-step/1.8° stepper motor drive; resolution approx. 0.14 arcsec
  
• Superior latitude adjustment controls with greater range of latitudes possible
• Azimuth adjustment range:  About ±9°
  
• Built-in SNAP camera control port
• PPEC worm gear and worm periodic error correction function (avoids having to constantly re-train)
• Built-in carrying handle for convenient transportation
• printed manual in english
  

The supplied computerised Synscan™ hand control allows you to control the mount to point your 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 42,000+ night sky objects from it's extensive database. Messier, NGC, IC, SAO, Caldwell, double star, variable star, named star catalogs , and planets are included, too.
