EQ3-Astrofoto - travel mount for astrophotography with telephoto lenses and small telescopes
A stable and transportable equatorial mount with complete equipment - ready for astrophotography.

The EQ3 astrophotography package offers everything for mobile astrophotography. A stepper motor tracking system, a polar scope for precise polar alignment, a stable mount with height-adjustable aluminum tripod and a flexible dovetail bar with which you can attach your camera with telephoto lens directly to the mount, for example.

The EQ3 astrophoto package consists of:
EQ3 mount with 2 counterweights and height-adjustable aluminum tripod.
Quartz-controlled stepper motor control for both axes with battery holder
Polar scope for exact adjustment - to be screwed in
Dovetail bar for telephoto lenses, cameras, spotting scopes
Universal dovetail bar for telescopes


The EQ3-Astrofoto offers all necessary features for astrophotography.
good stability: telescopes and telephoto lenses up to approx. 4 kg can be used photographically
Micro-adjustment in azimuth and latitude: This is necessary for an exact polar alignment and thus the prerequisite for point-like stars
polar scope for an exact polar alignment in a few minutes
2-axis stepper motor control: This gives you accurate tracking and motorised correction options.



Accurate polar alignment in a few seconds with the polar finder
Screw the polar finder into the mount and you can achieve an exact polar alignment for astrophotography. Even without guiding you can take successful photographs. With short focal lengths and good polar alignment, the individual images can be exposed for several minutes. For longer focal lengths, we recommend tracking control via a small telescope and a crosshair eyepiece.


Accurate tracking by quartz-controlled stepper motor tracking
The basis for successful astrophotos, besides the mount itself and the optics, is accurate tracking. The dual tracking for the EQ3 consists of two powerful stepper motors with a complete mounting kit for the EQ3, a quartz-controlled controller and a battery holder. The controller is completely self-sufficient, you don´t need a computer or additional power supply. The dual controller offers:
accurate tracking
correction possibility in right ascension and in declination with three different speeds
Switching for the southern hemisphere



Two dovetail bars for mounting telescopes or objectives
In addition to the original dovetail bar for mounting telescopes with tube rings, the scope of delivery also includes the photo dovetail bar with the 1/4" photo thread. This dovetail allows the attachment of spotting scopes, telephoto lenses or cameras as on a photo tripod.
