The computerized Sky-Watcher PRO mounts are
designed with the novice user in mind. With the user-friendly pushbutton SynScan
Hand Control, locating and viewing the treasures of the night sky becomes as
easy as a walk in the park. The SynScan Hand Control allows you to point the
telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button.
The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects.
Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few
observing sessions. The SynScan Hand Control also has the ability to connect to
a computer via a serial cable. Once the connection has been established between
the computer and SynScan Hand Control, many commercially available planetarium
softwares can be used to control the HEQ5 and EQ6 PRO Mounts, The HEQ5 and EQ6
PRO mounts also comes with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate:
Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute. Accuracy enhanced by software
collimation error (mount mechanical error) compensation.
Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven.
Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X).
Auto Guider Interface for astro-photography.
Guiding speed selectable from 0.25X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1X.
Object database containing complete M, NGC, and IC catalogues.
Minimal vibration for steady long-exposure photography.
Periodic Error Correction.
