Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO best suited for?

Astrophotography mount for heavy instruments, supporting up to 35 kg during imaging: large Newtonian telescopes, 11″ to 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, or refractors of 150 mm and larger. Can be disassembled into two sections for transport.

What sets the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO apart from other mounts?

It can support nearly twice as much as an EQ6-R with a head weighing only 18.5 kg, thanks to its two-part design. A much lighter alternative to the EQ8-R for mobile use.

Does the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO come with counterweights?

Yes, just like any German equatorial mount. The Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO comes with 2 × 10 kg of counterweights.

What power supply should I use for the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO?

The Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO requires a power supply of 11 to 16 V DC, 2 A (55 W). The power supply is not included; we recommend the'12 V, 10 A power supply plugged into an outlet, or the Pocket Powerbox Advance (Gen2) to supply 12 V power to the mount and accessories in the field.

Which tripod comes with the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO?

The Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO comes with its own stainless steel tripod with 2.75″ legs (15.7 kg). The head is also available separately: Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO (Head only).

How do you operate the Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO?

The Sky-Watcher CQ350 PRO can be controlled using a hand controller or a computer via USB (ASCOM). For autoguiding (ST4 port), a guide scope such as the 52 Scope guide or the Sky-Watcher EVOGUIDE-50ED is appropriate.
