Sky-Watcher Equatorial Mount EQ5 with Tripod
The mount is a solid base for telescopes up to 10 kg weight. For example, it can carry a Newtonian telescope or a Schmidt-Cassegrain up to 200 mm aperture or a refractor up to 150 mm aperture in a compact design. The mounting convinces above all by a good mechanical quality, such as ball bearing axes or precise worms. This and the optimal expandability allow the mount to grow with your requirements. The mount EQ5 is a purchase for the whole life. We see the EQ5 as an optimal mount for the upscale entry into astronomy. The EQ5 does not obstruct any future development possibilities, for example for astrophotography.*]

The EQ5 is very expandable
The EQ5 is THE standard for many accessory manufacturers. For this reason, there is a wealth of useful accessories for the mount, which we have linked to the accessories recommendations, such as for example:
Stepper motors with controls
GoTo motor system with control (SKGOTOKIT)
Optical and electronic polar finder scope
Dovetail bars and double mounts for astrophotography
Tripods, pier top (half pier), piers for fixed installation
Accessory holder for the counterweight rod


Conversion into a stable astrotracker for air travel
A special feature of the EQ5 is the removable declination axis. All you have to do is loosen two screws. With the Photoguider upgrade, you can turn the EQ5 into a stable and precise astrotracker. The weight of the tracker is about 3 kg without tripod.

"Tolles Mount.Aber für den Preis könnte ein Polarsucher dabei sein."

"Stabil (zumindest für reine Beobachtung) - trägt mein Orion Optics VX8 locker. Lediglich ein zusätzliches 2kg-Gegengewicht habe ich mir zugelegt: 2x5Kg sind zu viel, 1x5kg ist zu wenig. Stativ, Montierung und Gegengewicht(e) kann man noch tragen/transportieren - das war auch ein Kaufkriterium. Negativ: Spielige Plastik-Abdeckung für Polsucher-Einblick und etwas wackliger RA-Ring."

"Für mich als Anfänger, vollkommen ausreichend zur Himmelsbeobachtung! Montierung war kein Problem. "

"Qualität ist für den Preis in Ordnung. Ein Skymax 150/1800 Maksutov trägt es ganz gut. Der Polsucher muss extra bestellt werden. Der RA Ring wird auch durch den Polsucher nicht besser gehalten, hier muss man nachbessern."

"sehr stabile Montierung, sauber verarbeitet, kann ich nur empfehlen"
