The new Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro Mount 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;

â–º Increased Payload capacity of 20kg for Astro-Photography

â–º Synchronous Belt Driven, resulting in minimal backlash – Even quieter, smoother operation and better results when guiding. Higher Torque.

â–º Superior Latitude adjustment controls with greater range of latitudes possible

â–º Built-in SNAP camera control port

â–º PPEC worm gear and worm periodic error correction function (avoids having to constantly re-train)

The supplied computerised Synscanâ„¢ 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.
