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-Rh Equatorial Mount Head with included counterweights and Pier Tripod; SKU S30701. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pier Tripod and three Leveling\/Vibration Pads are also included with this model. Experience the High Payload capacity in this truly portable mount. The EQ8-Rh 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-Rh is a perfect mount for supporting even the largest OTAs Sky-Watcher offers. Includes the high-resolution Encoder mechanical installation method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This model does include the high-resolution Renishaw Encoder with special installation. On this EQ8-Rh model, the Renishaw 11.8 million tick Incremental Encoder is mounted directly to the RA shaft on the mount. This arrangement virtually eliminates periodic error during tracking and allows for extremely precise tracking and guiding for the most demanding astrophotographers. This high-resolution, direct reading-off-the-shaft encoder installation is ideal for astro-imaging or any other critical application for this mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the legacy of Sky-Watcher’s popular EQ8 mount, the new EQ8-Rh 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-Rh 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-Rh 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes an EQ8-R Series Portable Pier\/Tripod and three Leveling\/Vibration Pads for easy setup in the
