Sky-Watcher SynScan PRO upgrade kit: give your classic EQ6 a second life
With this upgrade kit, you can turn a standard, manual EQ6 into a full-fledged GoTo mount. You choose an object on the LCD screen of the SynScan hand controller, and the mount automatically slews to it. The database contains 42,900 objects, including the complete Messier, NGC, and IC catalogs, plus space for 25 user-defined objects.
The tracking speed is adjustable from 0.25x to 1x and the motor speed from 2x to 800x, so that both fine correction and fast panning go smoothly. The kit contains DEC and RA motors, the hand controller, all cables and tools, plus an RS-232 cable for firmware updates.
