Skywatcher AZ-EQ6GT
ALT-Azimuth GO-TO Mount And Tripod:
Skywatcher AZ-EQ6GT ALT-Azimuth GO-TO Mount is a dual purpose, fully functional
computerised heavy-duty Go-To/Tracking astronomical mount in both Alt-Azimuth
(AZ) and Equatorial (EQ) modes. It is supplied with a Synscan handset with dual
AZ/EQ firmware. It can automatically find and track over 42,900 celestial
objects from its database. It allow you vast freedom, convenience and
flexibility during observational sessions.
In EQ mode, the AZ-EQ6GT is designed for either visual use or precise
astro-imaging. In AZ mode, it is primarily intended for visual use, and in this
mode, two telescopes can be mounted simultaneously in parallel. A great feature
of the AZ-EQ6GT is the patented dual-encoder technology. This allows the
telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its
positional information. This gives the user enormous freedom, convenience and
flexibility during observational sessions.
