Skywatcher HEQ-5 Pro Synscan GoTo mount up to 15kg telescopes
The HEQ5 from Sky-Watcher can be described as the "little brother" of the EQ-6.
The SynScan / SkyScan - is equipped with a Goto control
With a load capacity of 15 kg (depending on the length / lever of the telescope), this mount can be used for Newton, Schmidt Cassegrain, Maksutov and refractors.
It is not only a good base for observation, it also allows astrophotography. With the mount long exposure is possible. This will allow you to successfully take pictures of nebula objects and galaxies, moon and planetary images are no problem.
The concept of this mount still fits for easy transportation and variable deployment. It offers all the amenities of a fully equipped, computerized GoTo mount. For astrophotographers it is a good choice.
The mount offers a fully equipped GoTo system with quiet stepper motors. Due to a ball-bearing RA axle, the mount can be loaded with telescopes up to approx. 15 kg dead weight. The height-adjustable stainless steel stand also ensures the necessary stability.
