SmartStar™-PR GOTO Equatorial Mount 

SmartStar^TM-PR Computerized German Equatorial Mount and Tripod system provides superior performance and stability. Ideally suited for astrophotography the EQ5 is built with precision worm gears and high-caliber bearings for smooth celestial tracking. Our heavy-duty two-inch stainless steel tripod means your telescope and images will not be disturbed by any bump or windy night. The EQ5 also includes a latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar finder scope.

SmartStar^TM-PR is fully computerized with a database of over 130,000 – the most of any GoTo system on the market. The GoToNova^TM Controller is more intuitive than its peers with menu categories better organized. It also has the largest LCD screen on the market with 8 lines of content compared with others that only have 2 lines. Using the easy-to-use hand controller, you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go.

SmartStar^TM-PR is easy to balance on both axes by simply sliding the counterweights. This is very helpful when attaching a camera or other accessory. And the single contact support system allows the tube to move freely with your attached camera.

SmartStar^TM-PR is universally compatible with all tubes using a dovetail connection making it useful for the hobbyist with multiple tubes. It also includes a Polar Finder scope essential for accurately aligning your EQ5.
