Astrophotography with the EQ-5:

A mount, which is to be used for photography, especially for photographs of nebulae and galaxies, must bring some conditions:

- A fine adjustment in pole height and azimuth for very precise positioning of the mount
- a pole finder is already screwed in - an effective way of quick and accurate placement
- the ability to retrofit a 2-axis controller - this is important because with longer exposure times
Corrections are needed. But you must not touch the mount during recording - so the adjustment must
done by motor.
