Visit Sky-Watcher EQ3-2 is an equatorial mount renowned for its robustness, precision and versatility. Highly appreciated by experienced amateur astronomers, it is an excellent intermediate step between introductory mounts and more advanced systems.
Designed to offer optimum stability and a precise tracking of celestial objects, With this new product, you can take full advantage of the capabilities of many telescopes and telescope scopes, both for visual observation and as an introduction to astrophotography.
Thanks to its equatorial design, the EQ3-2 effectively compensates for the Earth's rotation. Once aligned with the celestial pole, it offers natural tracking of objects by acting primarily on the axis of rotation.’right ascension (R.A.).
Visit slow motion commands allow :
This level of precision makes the mount particularly suitable for planetary and lunar observation.
The EQ3-2 is equipped with worm gear mechanisms on both axes (R.A. and DEC), offering complete 360° control.
This configuration guarantees :
Visit metal graduated circles can be used to quickly locate celestial objects by means of their coordinates, an invaluable feature for making progress in astronomy.
The frame rests on a sturdy, adjustable aluminium tripod, This ensures excellent stability even with relatively heavy instruments.
It is equipped with :
The spirit level makes it easy to level the frame, an essential step for good polar alignment and precise tracking.
The EQ3-2 is a particularly attractive mount. evolutionary. It can be equipped with :
These options allow you to :
The EQ3-2 can support medium-sized instruments, making it compatible with :
This makes it a versatile solution for different types of observation.
Although more advanced than an EQ-2, the EQ3-2 remains accessible after a short introduction. It offers :
It's an ideal mount for users wishing to take their skills to the next level without immediately entering into complex configurations.
