SkyWatcher offers superb solutions for users who would like to attach their telescope to a convenient computerised system but do not wish to deal with the weight of the HEQ5 or EQ6 PRO mounts. The EQ3 PRO SynScan mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 PRO SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The SynScan Computer includes a massive 42,900+ night sky objects in its extensive database. This excellent mount is ideal for owners of modern short tube Apo refractors up to around 100mm such as those from William Optics, SkyWatcher, the Meade 5000.
The EQ3 PRO SynScan mount is a perfect instrument for novice visual observers and imagers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and in depth knowledge of the night sky.
