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.

Smooth, precise equatorial tracking

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 :

  • Smooth, continuous manual follow-up
  • Precise framing adjustment
  • Comfortable observation at high magnification

This level of precision makes the mount particularly suitable for planetary and lunar observation.

Precision mechanics and 360° gears

The EQ3-2 is equipped with worm gear mechanisms on both axes (R.A. and DEC), offering complete 360° control.

This configuration guarantees :

  • High tracking accuracy
  • Smooth, steady movements
  • Excellent mechanical durability

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.

Enhanced stability with aluminum tripod

The frame rests on a sturdy, adjustable aluminium tripod, This ensures excellent stability even with relatively heavy instruments.

It is equipped with :

  • An accessory tray
  • Integrated spirit level for rapid alignment

The spirit level makes it easy to level the frame, an essential step for good polar alignment and precise tracking.

Upgradeable with motorization and accessories

The EQ3-2 is a particularly attractive mount. evolutionary. It can be equipped with :

  • Single-axis motor (R.A.)
  • Dual-axis motors (R.A. + DEC)
  • Polarscope for precise alignment

These options allow you to :

  • Automatic object tracking
  • Greater precision
  • An introduction to astrophotography

Capacity and compatibility

The EQ3-2 can support medium-sized instruments, making it compatible with :

  • Newton telescopes up to approx. 150 mm
  • Bezels up to 120 mm
  • Maksutov and Schmidt-Cassegrain compacts

This makes it a versatile solution for different types of observation.

Ease of use and progression

Although more advanced than an EQ-2, the EQ3-2 remains accessible after a short introduction. It offers :

  • Learn how celestial coordinates work
  • Master equatorial tracking
  • Move towards more technical observations

It's an ideal mount for users wishing to take their skills to the next level without immediately entering into complex configurations.
