Visit Sky-Watcher EQ5 PRO SynScan is a motorized equatorial mount particularly appreciated by amateur astronomers who want access to a High-performance Go-To, The HEQ5 and EQ6 are precise and scalable, without the need to switch immediately to much heavier frames.
An improved, computerized version of the famous classic EQ5, the EQ5 PRO incorporates a complete motorization and automatic pointing system, enabling it to automatically locate and track thousands of celestial objects with great precision.
It is an excellent solution for :
Unlike simple azimuth mounts, the EQ5 PRO uses an advanced equatorial germany, specially designed to compensate for the Earth's rotation.
Once correctly positioned on the North Star, the mount can follow celestial objects smoothly only via the right ascension axis.
This design offers several important advantages:
The frame is equipped with the famous SynScan™ Go-To from Sky-Watcher.
Thanks to the SynScan racket, the mount can automatically point :
More than 42,900 celestial objects
The database includes :
This Go-To function simplifies observation enormously, making it easy even for beginners to discover the deep sky.
The EQ5 PRO uses high-precision stepper motors with micro-step.
This technology offers :
The mount offers several travel speeds:
Fast speeds enable efficient automatic aiming, while slow speeds are used for fine adjustments.
The EQ5 PRO offers several tracking modes:
Sidereal tracking precisely compensates for the Earth's rotation to keep the object centered in the eyepiece for long periods.
This feature is particularly useful for :
The EQ5 PRO is a very good starting point for serious astrophotography.
In particular, it features :
It can work with :
With the right balancing and set-up, it's already capable of producing excellent photographic results.
The EQ5 PRO is built on a solid foundation:
Stainless steel tubular tripod
This tripod provides :
The frame also features :
These elements make polar stationing much easier.
The Sky-Watcher EQ5 PRO supports :
Approx. 9-10 kg payload
It can therefore accommodate :
It remains particularly suited to serious visual setups and light to intermediate photo configurations.
The frame is compatible with :
The SynScan firmware can also be :
Updated via Internet
to benefit from improvements and new features.
