Its unique design combines <strong>equatorial precision<\/strong> For astrophotography with the <strong>speed and simplicity of azimuthal setup<\/strong> for visual observations. With the ability to mount two telescopes in parallel in AZ mode, this is an ideal choice for both solo observation and joint observing sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mount features <strong>dual-encoder technology<\/strong>, allowing you to move the telescope manually without losing alignment. This gives maximum flexibility during observations. The redesigned pole block and slip clutch provide additional stability and ease of use when setting up the mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a carrying capacity of <strong>20 kg<\/strong> the AZ-EQ6 GT can handle heavy telescopes and complete astrophotography setups with ease. The SynScan manual control provides access to a database of 42,900 celestial objects and supports automatic alignment with one, two or three stars. For photography, there is support for autoguiding, PEC correction and a DSLR shutter port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its power, the mount remains relatively transportable: at 15.4 kg for the head and 7.5 kg for the tripod, you can easily take it with you to dark observing locations. This makes the AZ-EQ6 GT a reliable all-rounder that combines the advantages of both a parallactic and an azimuth mount in one system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>The Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 GT SynScan GoTo is suitable for advanced observers and serious astrophotographers. Use EQ mode for precise deep-sky photography with long exposures, or switch to AZ mode for quick visual observations and sessions with two telescopes simultaneously. With its high carrying capacity and quiet motors, this is a mount for those seeking maximum versatility and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type: Equatorial\/Azimuth mount (EQ6 series)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max. load capacity: 20 kg (per side in AZ mode)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pile height adjustment: 0-90\u00b0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive: worm gear, brass worm wheels (\u00d892.5 mm, 180 teeth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Axles: steel, \u00d840 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motors: DC 12 V stepper motors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encoders: dual-encoder (alignment is maintained with manual movement)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GoTo system: SynScan, database 42,900 objects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Positioning: 1-, 2- or 3-star (EQ) \/ bright star or 2-star (AZ)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking modes: sidereal, sun, moon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEC correction: yes (in EQ mode)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Autoguiding: yes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DSLR shutter port: yes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mounting saddle: 2\u00d7 dual-fit (Losmandy &amp; Vixen)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stand: stainless steel, \u00d851 mm legs, max. height 147 cm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counterweights: 2 \u00d7 5 kg, \u00d825 mm bar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight of mount: 15.4 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tripod weight: 7.5 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total set weight: 33 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Color: white<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"360\" data-end=\"815\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"358\">Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 GT SynScan GoTo comes with steel tripod, counterweights and SynScan hand control -
