With a <strong>carrying capacity of 20 kg<\/strong> it provides sufficient stability for large Newtons, APO refractors and complete photography setups with guide scopes and cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The updated design features a <strong>belt drive<\/strong>, which makes the mount exhibit virtually no backlash and tracks objects extremely smoothly and accurately. Thanks to the <strong>periodic error correction (PPEC).<\/strong> the drive needs to be adjusted less frequently, resulting in tighter deep-sky shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pole height adjustment has been improved with robust screws and a larger adjustment range. Alignment can be done via the built-in pole finder or the SynScan software. With the included manual control, you choose from a database of 42,000 objects, which are automatically found and tracked. For astrophotography, there is a built-in connection for DSLR shutter control and support for autoguiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its power, the EQ6-R Pro is still relatively mobile. With a 17.3 kg mount head and built-in carrying handle, you can take it with you to dark observing locations, while the steel tripod with 51 mm legs offers maximum stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro SynScan GoTo is ideal for advanced amateurs and astrophotographers seeking a heavy-duty, reliable equatorial mount. Suitable for deep-sky photography with long exposure times and large optics. For those who also want to work azimuthally or with two telescopes simultaneously, the AZ-EQ6 GT is an alternative.<\/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 mount (EQ6 series)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max. load capacity: 20 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counterweights: 2 \u00d7 5 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mounting saddle: Losmandy &amp; Vixen compatible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pole height range: 5-65\u00b0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive: worm wheel with toothed belt transmission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEC correction: yes (PPEC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking modes: sidereal, sun, moon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GoTo system: SynScan, database 42,000 objects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interfaces: USB 2.0, autoguider port<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand controller: included<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pole finder: built-in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stand: steel tripod, \u00d851 mm legs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mounting head weight: 17.3 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total weight of set: 34.8 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Color: white<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"811\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"451\">Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro SynScan GoTo comes with steel tripod, counterweights and SynScan hand controls -
