Equatorial Mount SkyWatcher EQ3_2

All about the product

Inexpensive Skywatcher EQ3-2 equatorial mount. Most telescope mounts are of this type. Used everywhere from the smallest telescopes to observatory-grade instruments. Unlike an azimuth mount, this mount is designed to compensate for the earth's rotation by rotating only around one axis, the right ascension. The other axis is called the declination axis. They can be rotated by hand using slow skim knobs or motorized. You simply point the telescope at the desired object, turn on the tracking and you can observe as much as you like. It can also be fully motorized by purchasing two motors and a controller. The assembly is of high quality, made of aluminum alloys. Stronger for heavier telescopes than the smaller EQ2, comfortable to use with medium telescopes. Since the mount is rotated by a worm gear mechanism, the tracking is accurate and even. This mount is manufactured with a polariscope holder, both axis locking, a latitude setting screw, and graduated right ascension and declination scales. Therefore, after correctly aligning to the north pole, you will be able to easily find the desired object with their help. The mount is fixed on a stable aluminum tripod. Its height can be changed by turning a few screws. You can put the glasses on a special holder.
