Skywatcher AZ EQ6 GT / EQ and Alt-AZ GoTo Mount
The Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 is the perfect solution for amateur astronomers who want the benefit of an azimutal and an equatorial GoTo mount but without the disadvantages of them.

Features:
intelligent astronomic platform with dual azimuthal and equatorial GoTo control box
switch in seconds from equatorial to azimutal mode
stability like the EQ6 Synscan in the equatorial mode
better polar wedge, better counterweight shaft
26% lighter than the original EQ6 mount (mount head weighs only 15 kg)
very stable mount for a second telescope on the end of the counterweight bar - also good for guiding scopes
the data base includes more than 42900 objects
optical encoders, the control box holds the coordinates also when you move the mont without motors
belt drive trasmission - less backlash


Advantages against a azimutal Goto fork mount:
better stability
more transportable (you can split the telescope to mount and optical tube)
more flexibility - you can decide which telescope you want
more stability in equatorial mode - fork mounts reduces their stability when you use it with a wedge


Advantages against a simple parallactic mount:
you can decide if you want to work in the more comfortable azimutal mode (no polar alignment) OR in the equatorial mode for astrophotography


Better polar wedge with quided thread:

You can adjust the lattitude without problems with mounted telescope!

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.
