Description
Sky-Watcher EQ6-R PRO
Equatorial GoTo mount with built-in USB PC control
The EQ6-R boasts a number of features to aid astrophotographers. The built in ST-4 Autoguider port turns this mount into an astrophotography powerhouse, allowing you to utilize most of today’s best autoguiders. Using the integrated RS232 port, you can control the telescope from your computer and take advantage of today’s most advanced astronomy software. With a weight capacity of 44 lbs, the EQ6-R can handily support an optical tube, imaging accessories and camera.
Silent Yet Precise Slewing
The EQ6-R Pro uses Stepper motors with a 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven. Stepper motors are quieter than servo motors, providing accuracy up to 1 arc minute without waking your neighbors from buzzing motors.
Bundle of Accessories
As customary with all Sky-Watcher products, there are an assortment of accessories included with the EQ6-R Pro mount. A retractable counterweight bar is supplied, allowing for easier transportation. Also, two 11-pound counterweights are included to help balance any payload. The EQ6-R Pro features a saddle compatible with both D- and V-style mounting plates, giving users the flexibility to use multiple optical tubes, even if the mounting plate is different.
