You quickly align it to the Pole Star. Then it rotates with the sky, keeping your object quietly in view. That makes viewing a lot more relaxing, especially when you're just starting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"90603\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ-2-Montering-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ-2 mount completely mounted on aluminum tripod with accessory platform.\" class=\"wp-image-90603\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precise tracking without fuss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the fine movements, you move your telescope step by step. You gently turn the knobs and the image slides along smoothly. This way you keep stars and planets neatly centered, without having to constantly correct them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"90604\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ-2-Montering-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ-2 mount close-up of the equatorial head with fine adjustment screws and mounting mechanism.\" class=\"wp-image-90604\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stable tripod for quiet image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aluminum tripod stands surprisingly sturdy. You easily adjust the height for comfortable viewing. The tray keeps your eyepieces within easy reach. Everything stays neatly organized, giving you more time to really observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light, small and ideal for beginners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EQ-2 is compact enough to take anywhere. It fits in a bag and is easy to set up. Kids can handle it, and beginners feel confident right away. You get stability without the weight of larger mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Designation<\/td><td>EQ-2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Max. load capacity (kg)<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pole adjustment (\u00b0)<\/td><td>0-90<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material counterweight<\/td><td>Metal, silver<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drive type<\/td><td>Wormwheel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Propulsion mechanism<\/td><td>Gear<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Polar axis scale<\/td><td>-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Travel mount<\/td><td>-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Suitable for hand luggage<\/td><td>-<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Tripod<\/td><td>Tripod<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accessory holder<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Max. tripod height (cm)<\/td><td>123<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tripod weight (kg)<\/td><td>1,5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tripod Material<\/td><td>Aluminum<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>General<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Total weight (kg)<\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Type<\/td><td>Mount<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Design<\/td><td>Equatorial<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skywatcher EQ-2 comes with parallactic mount, stable aluminum tripod, accessory tray and balanced counterweight -
