Visit Sky-Watcher EQ6i PRO SynScan is a German equatorial mount designed for demanding amateur astronomers and astrophotography enthusiasts. It is distinguished by its high load capacity of 25 kghis high pointing accuracy and its computerized GO-TO system for easy exploration of the deep sky. Robust, reliable and silent, it's an ideal base for detailed observations and long exposure imaging sessions.
Thanks to its high-precision stepper motors with micro-steps (64 microsteps), the EQ6i PRO ensures smooth movements and extremely precise tracking. Its resolution of 0.144 arcsec and its pointing speed up to 3.4°/second are used to quickly locate celestial objects and efficiently switch from one target to another.
Designed to support imposing instruments, this mount offers a exceptional stability thanks to its stainless steel tripod with 2" diameter feet. Supplied with two 5.1 kg counterweights for precise balancing of telescope and accessories. This stability is essential to reduce vibrations, especially in astrophotography where precision is paramount.
With a 16 kg frame weight and sturdy design, it guarantees excellent durability, even under heavy use.
The system SynScan GO-TO provides access to a database of more than 42,900 celestial objects, including the Messier, NGC and IC catalogs. The mount offers a pointing accuracy of up to 1 arcminute, reinforced by a system of compensation for mechanical errors for greater reliability.
It offers several alignment methods (1, 2 or 3 stars), making it suitable for all levels of experience.
The EQ6i PRO is equipped with a integrated SynScan Wi-Fi adapter, for wireless control via the SynScan Pro available on iOS, Android and PC. This solution offers great freedom of use and an intuitive interface for controlling the mount, selecting objects and managing parameters.
It also has a number of ports: USB, ST-4 (autoguider), SNAP (camera), power supply and a port for SynScan snowshoe (optional). This extensive connectivity makes it easy to integrate into any astronomy setup.
Optimized for long exposures, the frame offers a precise motorized tracking with several speeds: sidereal, lunar and solar. The harbour ST-4 allows autoguiding with different correction rates (0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x), ensuring stable, precise tracking.
Visit SNAP port allows a DSLR camera to be triggered directly via the mount, facilitating automated imaging sequences. Silent operation and vibration reduction guarantee optimal conditions for capturing sharp, detailed images.
The presence of a illuminated polar viewfinder makes it easy to set up, an essential step for accurate tracking of celestial objects. Quiet motors enhance user comfort during extended night-time observations.
The frame is also compatible with a SynScan racket (not included), offering an alternative control system for those who prefer classic use.
