This Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 Go-To Mount has many features and a precision design that will satisfy your astronomy needs. This mount is part AZ mount, part Equatorial, and the AZ-EQ5 is Sky-Watcher’s most versatile mount. It is capable of aligning in either Alt-Az, Equatorial, or dual-OTA mode. Thanks to it’s flexibility, the AZ-EQ5 mount is perfect for anyone from the beginning astronomer looking to get into astrophotography to the seasoned astrophotography buff, and also for educators passionate about astronomy outreach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 Go-To Mount is unlike any other telescope mount on the market, since it employs a patented Sky-Watcher dual-encoder motor system, Freedom-Find™, which allows users to move the mount manually without losing alignment. The AZ-EQ5 uses a proprietary slip clutch system that keeps your alignment whether you slew by hand or using the hand controller. After moving to the new object (either done electronically or manually), the mount will begin tracking automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AZ-EQ5 Mount from Sky-Watcher USA provides a user-friendly interface with automatic slewing to over 42,000 objects in the night sky. The hand controller can also connect to a computer using the supplied RS232 cable (USB adapter available), enabling computer control with most astronomy programs, including The SkyX, Stellarium, and Starry Night. Sky-Watcher’s belt drive system has a few advantages over mounts using traditional stepper gearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelt drive systems deliver nearly silent slewing and tracking, making for an evening free of obnoxious motor noises while delivering spot-on accuracy. Sky-Watcher’s belt drive also features minimal backlash, smoother tracking, and less periodic error than mounts using servo motors. For users looking to improve the accuracy of their tracking, the AZ-EQ5 also features built in Periodic Error Correction firmware, allowing users to fix periodic error in the field. The SynScan hand controller can set up exposure length, number of frames taken and a ‘cool down’ period between each frame. Also, the SynScan hand controller has the ability to select up to 8 different exposure combinations to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA polar finderscope is available as an Optional purchase, to assist with setting polar alignment. The AZ-EQ5 has a built in USB port for firmware updates. In addition to the SynScan hand controller and the pier tripod, the AZ-EQ5 mount comes with two 7.5 lb counterweights and a counterweight extension bar, as well as an extra saddle for mounting a second scope for viewing in dual-OTA mode. The mount also includes two Canon EOS trigger cables for connecting your camera to the mount (Nikon and Sony cables available separate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS30200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50234302005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquatorial\/AZ-EL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGo-To\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePayload Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Head Weight (lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.9 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTripod Weight (lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Assembled Weight (w\/ weights)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.8 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTripod Leg Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Saddle Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV-type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Volts DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlip type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Scope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatitude Range (degrees)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 - 90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject Database\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42,900+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eController\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiFi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo; Optional WiFi dongle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Align Assist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAuto Guide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePermanent Periodic Correction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePointing Accuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 arcminutes, RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Encoders\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDSLR Camera Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, Dual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Weights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 lb (two weights)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStepper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21301013053553,"sku":"SWU-S30200","price":2910.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/products\/S30200_AZ-EQ5_Hero.jpg?v=1776459266"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-az-eq-6-mount-s30330","title":"Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 Dual AZ\/EQ Mount with Hand Controller - S30330","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSky-Watcher AZ-EQ 6 GoTo Mount\u003cbr\u003ewith Hand Controller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAZ-EQ 6 Dual-Function Type Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Head Weighs 34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePayload capacity is 44 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctions as ALT-AZ or Equatorial Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Computerized GoTo Ability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Hand Controller Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42,900+ Object Database\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStepper Motor drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Metal Tripod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 is a the ultimate multi-role, dual-functionality mount, blending the popularity of an EQ mount with the convenience of an AZ mount. With it's heavy duty, 44 pound payload capacity the AZ-EQ6 can handle a large variety of optical systems for both imaging and visual applications. In EQ mode the mount can be used for long exposure, deep sky imaging while in AZ mode it can be used for visual with one or even two telescopes on the mount, with the addition of the secondary mounting saddle (included with the mount). This mount has a full GoTo computerized control ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo provide the best pointing, slewing, and tracking performance, the AZ-EQ6 features ultra quiet stepper motors and belt drives on both the RA and Dec. axes. Belt drives reduce the amount of gears used in the drive system which in turn reduces backlash. This allows the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ 6 Mount to track and guide with amazing precision. For astronomers wanting the ultimate visual, tracking mount the AZ-EQ6 features Sky-Watcher's Freedom Find encoder system. These encoders are separate from the mount's GoTo system and allow you to disengage the clutches and manually move the mount around the sky without a loss of your initial alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AZ-EQ6 has the ability to mount 2 separate optical systems. These may be attached on each side of the RA axis. By mounting the included secondary mounting saddle to the end of the counter weight bar, the AZ-EQ6 can be used in dual mode. This is perfect for using two different telescopes such as a wide and a narrow field of view telescopes. Two optical tubes is also great for solar applications when using two different filters for safe observation of the sun. This mode also is excellent for use by astronomy educators doing outreach and\/or educational programs, whether in schools or at star parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSky-Watcher includes an illuminated polar finderscope to aid the polar alignment process. The finderscope features a circular grid reticle for the northern hemisphere, consistent with todays popular polar alignment apps. For astronomers in the southern hemisphere, the constellation Octans is built into the reticle as well. Even without a clear view of Polaris, the mount can be polar aligned using our SynScan hand controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor improved and simplified connection the AZ-EQ6 features a built-in USB-B port on it's side panel. This allows you to connect to a PC computer and control it through the Sky-Watcher SynScan Pro application available for PC. Using the proprietary SynScan hand controller, the AZ- EQ6 Pro provides a user-friendly interface with automatic slewing to over 42,000 objects in the night sky.

not come with a hand controller (not needed), iPolar, or the iMate computer.  Instead, you choose which, if any, extra accessories you want in order to build out the perfect mount system for your needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat you DO get, however,  is a lightweight, compact, medium payload AZ\/EQ HAE69 mount that will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at less than 20 lbs with a payload capability 69 lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE69 makes this vision possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUtilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAE69 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized, all metal CNC machined body is appealing to the eye and is a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction break to safely stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll iOptron HAE69C dual SWG Alt-az\/ Eq
