With its 110 pound payload capacity and high-end imaging features, this mount offers the capacity to hold some of the largest telescope systems you might wish to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is the EQ8-R Equatorial Mount Head only, with included counterweights; SKU S30612. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pier Tripod is NOT included with this model. This Head only model is designed for those who wish to install this mount in an observatory which already has a permanent pier in place! Experience their High Payload capacity. The EQ8-R series (this mount and the other models) feature a massive 110 pound (50 kg) payload capacity, to handle your large, heavy telescope and associated equipment. All-metal precision internal construction makes this mount strong and stable. The EQ8-R is a perfect mount for supporting even the largest OTAs Sky-Watcher offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the legacy of Sky-Watcher’s popular EQ8 mount, the new EQ8-R introduces upgrades and enhancements that make observatory-class astrophotography easier than ever and within your budget. Whisper -quiet dual belt drives greatly reduce Periodic Error while providing enhanced tracking and guiding with very low inherent noise output. The cleverly designed cable management system eliminates cable drag and makes remote set-up of your equipment ultimately convenient. Both the RA and Dec motor assemblies drive the mount using ultra-smooth belt drives. This reduces the amount of gearing needed which reduces backlash in the system and periodic error overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Sky-Watcher mounts the EQ8-R series features a built-in SNAP port. This allows you to plug in your DSLR or mirrorless camera of choice and control the shutter through the hand controller. The camera will require the appropriate (optional) cable to make this connection. Sky-Watcher offers these cables. A built-in USB-3.0 port is situated on the mount to allow a direct connection to your computer, no hand controller needed! Plug it in, power on the Sky-Watcher SynScan Pro app for Windows and take control of your mount with your computer (PC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved Motor Placement: Developed from the original EQ8, the EQ8-R series features improved motor positioning. This aids in balance of the mount, eliminating uneven side balance issues which were inherent in the previous design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQ8-R series Polar Scope and bracket is available separately as an optional purchase. Also, additional counterweights are available as an option. Note: Images show Pier Tripod, but this is NOT included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat's In The Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ8-R Mount Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 22 pound Counterweights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounterweight Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV5 SynScan Hand Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower and Hand Controller Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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\u003eS30612\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e050234306126\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-capacity motorized Equatorial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGoTo:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePayload Capacity (lb):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Head Height (head by itself):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Head Weight (lb):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56.8 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Saddle Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD-style Saddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC11~16V, 3 amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable management:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour USB 3.0 ports, Three 2.1 mm power ports, Three serial connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Scope:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatitude Range (degrees):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10° to 65°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject Database:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete Messier, NGC, IC and SAO catalogs, 25 user defined objects, total of 42,900 objects\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eController:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSynScan hand controller, flash upgradeable, or PC direct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlignment Procedures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-, two- and three-star alignment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlew Speeds:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000x, 800x, 600x, 400x, 200x, 32x, 16x, 8x, 2x, 1x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiFi:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional WiFi dongle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPS:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional SynScan GPS sold seperately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Weights:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 lb (two each)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.9° hybrid stepper motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive System:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt Drive\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":30900125171825,"sku":"SWU-S30612","price":5254.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/products\/S30601_EQ8-R_Head_RightFront_1800x1800_94e9c225-2ced-486d-a850-c29b21ff6f75.jpg?v=1776459289","url":"https:\/\/khanscope.com\/en-fr\/products\/sky-watcher-eq8-r-high-capacity-equatorial-mount-head-only-s30612","provider":"Khan Scope Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
