Tracking objects without effort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher EQ3-2 RA drive motor takes the manual turning from you. Your telescope automatically stays focused on the object, so you can continue to watch relaxed. Your image stays calmer, and you don't miss any detail as the sky slowly moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Long sessions without interruption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The motor runs on four D batteries. So you go several nights without recharging. You turn it on and you're ready. Ideal for times when you want to focus for a long time on a single target, such as a planet or a star cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy operation for quick corrections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using the manual controls, you make small adjustments at 2x or 8x speed. This feels natural, as if you are gently adjusting the telescope. You maintain full control over image placement, without jerking or fussing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete package, ready to use immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Motor, hand control and battery holder are included. You don't need to buy anything extra. You assemble everything in a few minutes, and you immediately notice how much peace of mind it adds to your observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
