Sky-Watcher EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo: the entry-level choice for motorized tracking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EQ5 Pro is an equatorial mount with a payload capacity of 10 kg. This allows it to support mid-sized telescopes such as a 150\/750 Newtonian or a 100 mm refractor stably enough for visual work and taking the first steps into astrophotography. Stepper motors on both axes and the SynScan GoTo system with 42,900 objects locate and track any target automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a polar alignment via the built-in polar scope, you select an object on the hand controller and the mount slews to it. The tracking compensates for the Earth's rotation, keeping the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects in the field of view. The mount supports 1-, 2-, and 3-star alignment and has separate tracking speeds for stars, the moon, and the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for the first astrophotographs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through the autoguider port (ST-4) you connect a guiding camera for longer exposures. The steel tripod with accessory tray keeps the setup vibration-free. For purely visual use, the GoTo system is primarily convenience: less searching, more viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
