Skywatcher Equatorial Mount EQ3-2 - Mount Head
The equatorial mount EQ3 from Skywatcher is perfectly suited for mobile use with telescopes. The equatorial mount is also a sound base for astrophotography. With matching motors, you can successfully take pictures from moon, planets, nebulae and galaxies.


The mount can directly be used. You can use the mount immediately as we offer it. The saddle plate of the mount accepts all GP style dovetail bars. A selection can be found in our accessory recommendations. You can assemble and disassemble the mount entirely without tools.


Load Capacity: The EQ3 is suitable for Newtonian telescopes up to approx. 150 mm aperture, for refractors up to about 100 mm aperture (or 120 mm short tube). Photographically we recommend to use the next smaller telescope size, especially for long exposures. Depending on the lever arm we rate this mount at approximately 5 kg load capacity.

EQ3 for Astro Imaging: For long exposure astro-imaging a mount needs to fit several requirements. The EQ3 offer these:
precise adjustment of the polar axis in azimuth and altitude for precise polar alignment.
availability of a polar alignment scope
availability of a dual axis motor drive. During long exposures a correction of drift in the DEC axis will usually be necessary. Since you cannot touch the mount during exposure you will need a motor for this!
