About this product
The successor to the proven EQ6 SkyScan or SynScan mount has taken over the good properties of this mount. Skywatcher has constructed this mount even more precisely and more stable. With the EQ6-R, amateur astronomers now have an excellent mount for astrophotography with medium-heavy telescopes up to 20 kg weight at their disposal.
The provided computerised hand controller allows aiming the telescope to a specific object and offers tours across the current night sky just at the push of a button. The user-friendly menu system with its comprehensive database allows automatic locating and tracking of more than 42,000 astronomical objects. English is preselected as menu language but you also can select other languages like French or Germany.
