AZ-EQ6GoTo Skywatcher AZ EQ6GT Parallactic AND Azimuth GoTo Mount
Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 GoTo - parallactic AND azimuthal GoTo mount for telescopes up to 20 kg
The new computer-controlled AZ-EQ6 GoTo telescope mount is an impressive, evolutionary advancement
The most obvious difference is, as with the AZ-EQ6, that it can be used both as an azimuthal, as a parallactic mount incl tracking - Goto.
Thus, the AZ-EQ5 is the optimal solution for amateur astronomers who do not want to buy two different mounts. Here you have ONE mount that can BOTH.
The star friend, who first of all visually observes the star tent, but does not want to do without the expandability for astrophotography, is well advised with this mount.
Skywatcher AZ-EQ6GoTo AZ EQ6GT GoTo
Product advantages: - The conversion from the parallactic - in the azimuthal mode is mechanically feasible in seconds
- The GoTo control is switchable from azimuthal to parallactic
- Increased stability to the classic EQ6 with an improved pole height cradle and an even more stable counterweight bar
- Improved pole height adjustment by screw, this is also an adjustment of the pole height possible with a load without a screw bends
- Prism clamps for Vixen and Losmandy style prismatic rails
- 2. prism clamp for mounting on the counterweight rod
- optical encoder, so the controller does not lose the alignment in a manual adjustment
- Drive via toothed belt
- Slip clutches
- the advantage over a fork mount:o The telescope is not firmly connected to the mount
o usable for different telescopes
o better to transport
o to fix two telescopes simultaneously, e.g. Widefield to
Prospecting and long focal length for details
o fast 3-star alignment without arrangement
