Skywatcher HM5 EQ-3-2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Faster and more accurate alignment<\/strong>
The Skywatcher HM5 EQ-3-2 pole finder helps you quickly align your mount correctly. You simply screw it to the back of your EQ3-2 mount. Then you immediately see where to aim. This way you start your observation without any hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better alignment for sharper images<\/strong>
The celestial pole is just next to the Pole Star. With this pole finder, you can see exactly where to aim. This gives peace of mind in your image. Your telescope continues to track steadily, so you can look longer without objects drifting out of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitable for both hemispheres<\/strong>
Whether you are under northern or southern skies, the HM5 works everywhere. You don't have to convert anything. You just look through the viewfinder, align properly, and you're done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for astrophotography<\/strong>
The improved markings allow you to align much more accurately. This is important when using slower shutter speeds. Your photo stays sharp and stars stay nice and round. You get more detail, even in fainter objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
