Skywatcher EQ-6 Pro Synscan Pro - equatorial GoTo Mount up to 20 kg
The massive mount is a complete package for amateur astronomical purposes with heavier instruments.

It is not only suitable for visual observation, but also the entrance into astrophotography.

GoTo and other features of the electronics

For amateur astronomers seeking superior equatorial control and the ease of a precision computerized GOTO system, the NEQ6 PRO SynScan is your answer. This mount is designed with the novice user in mind.

With the user-friendly pushbutton hand control, locating and viewing the treasures of the night sky becomes as easy as a walk in the park. The hand control allows you to point the 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 over 42,000 + objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The NEQ6 SynScan also comes with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate.

For the SynScan system, there is also a video.

Payload capabilities:

The EQ-6 can carry instruments up to ca. 20 kg. With longer telescopes or for astro photography, we recommend to stay below this value.

Telescope mounting:

Multifunction 2" (Vixen) and 3" (Losmandy) Level clamp, so you can use Vixen and Losmandy style dovetails - very stable connection.

A few further features of the mount
less than 40 kg total weight
approx. 20 kg visual payload
approx. 42000 objects in the data base, positioning with up to 3.4°/sec
slow correction speeds for astro photography


Important note about power supply:
To avoid loss of warranty, please use only the power supplies and mobile supplies recommended by us. Especially simple car batteries or sealed lead-acid batteries can lead to an under-supply, which can then damage the sensitive electronics of the mount. Operating a Skywatcher GoTo mount with a non-proprietary power supply not recommended by us is at your own risk. Thank you for your understanding.
