Limited availability - This heavy duty equatorial mount, with a capacity of up to 18Kg is designed for various telescope tube options with it's standard dovetail system. It is specially designed for observers who need similar steadiness and reliability of the EQ6 mount, but require more portability.
Like the EQ6 mount, this high precision equatorial mount features engraved aluminium setting circles and a latitude scale, built-in polar scope holder and polarscope for easy accurate polar alignment. Large R.A. and DEC. locking clamps, built-in dual axis motor drives with multi-speed hand controller, and retractable counterweight shaft and counterweight complete the high specifications. The field tripod is remarkably stable with adjustable height, incorporating 1.75" diameter stainless steel tripod legs.
The standard HEQ5 can be easily upgraded to a fully computerised Go-To mount with the HEQ5 SynScan™ PRO GOTO Upgrade Kit (Product code 887) available separately.
