It is distinguished by its <strong>high load capacity of 25 kg<\/strong>his <strong>high pointing accuracy<\/strong> and its <strong>computerized GO-TO system<\/strong> for easy exploration of the deep sky. Robust, reliable and silent, it's an ideal base for detailed observations and long exposure imaging sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its <strong>high-precision stepper motors<\/strong> with micro-steps (64 microsteps), the EQ6i PRO ensures smooth movements and extremely precise tracking. Its <strong>resolution of 0.144 arcsec<\/strong> and its <strong>pointing speed up to 3.4\u00b0\/second<\/strong> are used to quickly locate celestial objects and efficiently switch from one target to another.<\/p>\n<h3>A sturdy, stable mount for heavy equipment<\/h3>\n<p>Designed to support imposing instruments, this mount offers a <strong>exceptional stability<\/strong> thanks to its stainless steel tripod with 2\" diameter feet. Supplied with <strong>two 5.1 kg counterweights<\/strong> for precise balancing of telescope and accessories. This stability is essential to reduce vibrations, especially in astrophotography where precision is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>With a <strong>16 kg frame weight<\/strong> and sturdy design, it guarantees excellent durability, even under heavy use.<\/p>\n<h3>GO-TO SynScan system and extended database<\/h3>\n<p>The system <strong>SynScan GO-TO<\/strong> provides access to a database of more than <strong>42,900 celestial objects<\/strong>, including the Messier, NGC and IC catalogs. The mount offers a <strong>pointing accuracy of up to 1 arcminute<\/strong>, reinforced by a system of <strong>compensation for mechanical errors<\/strong> for greater reliability.<\/p>\n<p>It offers several alignment methods (<strong>1, 2 or 3 stars<\/strong>), making it suitable for all levels of experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Modern Wi-Fi control and full connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>The EQ6i PRO is equipped with a <strong>integrated SynScan Wi-Fi adapter<\/strong>, for wireless control via the <strong>SynScan Pro<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a number of ports: <strong>USB, ST-4 (autoguider), SNAP (camera), power supply<\/strong> and a port for <strong>SynScan snowshoe<\/strong> (optional). This extensive connectivity makes it easy to integrate into any astronomy setup.<\/p>\n<h3>Perfect for astrophotography<\/h3>\n<p>Optimized for long exposures, the frame offers a <strong>precise motorized tracking<\/strong> with several speeds: <strong>sidereal, lunar and solar<\/strong>. The harbour <strong>ST-4<\/strong> allows autoguiding with different correction rates (0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x), ensuring stable, precise tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>SNAP port<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Precise alignment and ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>The presence of a <strong>illuminated polar viewfinder<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>The frame is also compatible with a SynScan racket (not included), offering an alternative control system for those who prefer classic use.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical specifications<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Frame type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>German Equatorial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Load capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>25 kg<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pointing accuracy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Up to 1 arc minute<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Resolution<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>0.144 arcsec<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pointing speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>3.4\u00b0\/second<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Motors<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>1.8\u00b0 steps with micro-steps (64)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Tracking modes<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Sidereal, lunar, solar<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Alignment<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>1, 2 or 3 stars<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Database<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>42 900+ items<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Ports<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>USB, ST-4, SNAP, power supply, racket port<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Stainless steel (85 to 147 cm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Frame weight<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>16 kg<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Counterweight<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2 x <strong>5.1 kg<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Power supply<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>12V DC 2A (not supplied)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <strong>Sky-Watcher EQ6i PRO SynScan<\/strong> is a complete, high-performance, upgradeable mount, perfectly suited to advanced observation and astrophotography.
