About this product

Pre-order this kit and Save!

The SkyWatcher HEQ5 Pro GOTO Dual Saddle Mount provides extremely high precision tracking and has built in autoguider ports. This heavy-duty HEQ5 Pro mount is a smaller version of the sturdy EQ6 Pro mount. It is specially designed for observers who need the steadiness of the EQ6 Pro mount, but find the EQ6 Pro mount too physically demanding.

The SynScan Go-To system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The SynScan Hand Control also has the ability to connect to a computer via a RS-232 cable. Once the connection has been established between the computer and SynScan Hand Control, many commercially available planetarium software programs can be used to control the HEQ5 PRO Mounts. The HEQ5 Pro mount is equipped with WiFi capability with an Wi-Fi Adapter (not included). Simply connect the mount to the SynScan App by using the Wi-Fi Adapter and you may control your telescope through your mobile device.

Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED Doublet Refractor

As the largest quality refactor in its price range, the eagerly awaited Sky-Watcher 80/600 Evostar OTA means a big jump in light gathering power with the same resolution as the rest of the Sky-Watcher Evostar telescopes.  Observe fainter details of the Moon and the fine structures of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.  Jewels of the southern skies like the thousands of stars in the globular cluster Omega Centauri and the wispy details of the Eta Carina nebula will be memorable sights for visual observers.

Combined with a suitable tracking mount such as the Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro, the 80mm aperture will let astrophotgraphers capture high contrast images of the planets and deep sky objects.

Integration for Ultimate Performance

Combining the Evostar 80ED with the HEQ5 Pro Mount creates an optimal setup for exploring and documenting the night sky. The telescope’s ability to deliver high-contrast, colour-accurate images complements the mount’s precision tracking to allow amateur and professional astronomers alike to produce astrophotography of stunning quality. Whether you are capturing detailed lunar landscapes, solar phenomena, or deep-sky wonders, this pairing ensures that every session is maximised for the best possible outcomes. The integration of these advanced tools not only enhances the experience of stargazing but also elevates the art of astrophotography, making it accessible to a wider range of astronomers who seek to capture the beauty of the cosmos with exceptional clarity and detail.
