Set it up, align to Polaris, and let the hand controller and its object database do the searching. The stepper motors on both axes then track accurately, also suitable for first astrophotography with short focal lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ3-Montering-Pro-SynScan-GoTo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo mount on aluminum tripod with counterweight bar and attached hand controller.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ3-Montering-Pro-SynScan-GoTo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo equatorial mount front view mounted on tripod.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The polar altitude is set precisely, and the polar axis scale aids in repeatable setup. The mount can be controlled via PC, and the firmware can be updated via the internet. With a load capacity of 5 kg, it comfortably carries a lightweight refractor or a compact Newtonian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>EQ3 PRO mounting head with stepper motors on both axes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>SynScan GoTo hand controller<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Counterweight of 4.2 kg<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Steel tripod<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sky-Watcher 200mm tripod extension fits the EQ3 and provides extra clearance for longer tubes. With the SynScan Wi-Fi Adapter, you can also control the mount via the SynScan Pro app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For observers and beginner photographers wanting GoTo without the weight and price of an EQ5-class mount. Not for those who want to upgrade later; the EQ5 Pro or HEQ5 Pro offers more room for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td>Equatorial GoTo mount (German type)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max. load capacity<\/strong><\/td><td>5 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Controls<\/strong><\/td><td>SynScan GoTo Hand Controller, PC Control, Firmware Updates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Motors<\/strong><\/td><td>Stepper motors on both axes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Counterweight<\/strong><\/td><td>1 x 4.2 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Polar axis scale<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/td><td>Steel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nutrition<\/strong><\/td><td>12V DC<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disassembly of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/brands\/sky-watcher\/\">Sky-Watcher<\/a> is a base that will last you for years.
