- Details..
- Technical data..
- In the box..
The Skywatcher AZ-EQ5GT is the perfect solution for amateur astronomers who want the benefit of an altazimuth AND a equatorial GoTo mount without disadvantages of them.
In altazimuth mode, it is primarily intended for visual use, and in this mode, two telescopes can be mounted simultaneously in parallel. In equatorial mode, the AZ-EQ5GT is a wonderful base for astrophotography with precise tracking and autoguiding connection.
The mount itself only weighs 7.7 kg so it is very transportable.
Supplied with the Synscan computerised handset with dual AZ/EQ firmware, it can automatically find and track over 42,900 celestial objects from its database - in both modes - azimutal and equatorial.

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.
