Skywatcher EQ3 Pro SynScan Equatorial GoTo Mount
With the EQ3 SynScan Pro, Skywatcher offers a completely equipped mount for compact telescopes. Especially when it comes to easy transport, this precise GoTo mount is a true alternative. At the same time this mount offers all amenities of a completely equipped GoTo mount.

The EQ3 PRO is an interesting alternative to the relatively expensive tracking systems also for astrophotographers. Besides the autoguiding interface, the EQ3 SynScan also offers automatic positioning and correction in both axes, that allows longer exposure times than with any Skytracker.

Visually, the mount supports telescopes up to 5 kg, like refractors up to 120 mm aperture or Newtonian telescopes up to 150 mm aperture. Photographic, we see the maximum payload at approximately 4 kg weight including camera, so you can well use strong telephoto lenses.

The advantages and features of the EQ3 Pro SynScan:
complete motorisation with control in both axes through high-quality and quiet stepper motors
automatic accurate tracking of the celestial objects
automatic locating of more than 42.900 objects
autoguider interface for astrophotography
positioning precision of about one arc minute
maximum positioning speed of 3.4° per second
electronic reduction of the periodic error - P.E.C.
USB connectivity
Firmware update via internet
modern quick release system - like with the EQ5 or bigger mounts
Weight w. tripod (without counterweights): 5 kg

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.

"Ich benutze die Montierung mit dem Skywatcher ED72 und Sony A7ii. Konnte bis jetzt wenig testen macht aber einen guten Eindruck. "

"Gute Qualität. Für Anfänger und Erfahrene gut geeignet. Das Manual könnte vielleicht auf den aktuellen Stand des Produktes abgestimmt sein."
