Skywatcher mounts are among the most popular and widely used telescope mounts among amateur astronomers. They are known for their reliability, precision and ease of use and offer a wide range of models suitable for both beginners and experienced astronomers.
Skywatcher mounts are available in two main categories: azimuthal and equatorial mounts. Azimuthal mounts such as the AZ-GTi are particularly user-friendly and are ideal for beginners. They allow easy alignment and operation by controlling the movement of the telescope in horizontal and vertical directions.
Equatorial mounts, such as the popular EQ6-R Pro, on the other hand, offer more precise tracking for astronomical observations and astrophotography. These mounts are designed to compensate for the Earth's rotation and allow the user to accurately track objects in the sky over long periods of time.
An outstanding feature of many Skywatcher mounts is the GoTo function. This computer-controlled technology allows the user to automatically navigate to thousands of celestial objects, making observation much easier and more enjoyable.
