A powerful set for highly advanced visual observations and high-level astrophotography. The optical tube with a parabolic mirror with a diameter of 254mm made of Pyrex - a great tool for highly advanced visual observations and astrophotography at the highest level. Great parameters of resolution and star range make it the perfect equipment for demanding observers. The catalog of observable objects includes: caps on Mars, Great Red Spot and Jupiter's moon transits, Saturn ring with Cassini and Encke break, all Messier objects and hundreds of galaxies, clusters and NGC / IC nebulae.
A complete tube with clamps, a 2 "/ 1.25" extractor and a very good 9x50 finder.
SynScan EQ6 PRO GOTO paralactic assembly is a precise instrument capable of working under heavy load, available at a very favorable price. The assembly works well for visual observations as well as for short non-guided exposures using CCD cameras with most conventional telescopes. It easily cooperates with refractors with an aperture up to 200mm (8 ") and Newtons with an aperture up to 12-14". The installation has a white finish and weighs with a counterweight of 26.5 kg.
The total load is estimated at 24 kg.
The EQ6 assembly head has engraved aluminum adjusting rings and a scale of latitude. In addition, it is equipped with a polar scope and its mounting, level indicator, solid locking clamps in the RA and DEC axes, a drive mounted in both axes and an extending counterbalance rod with counterweights. The set includes two counterweights, each weighing 5.4 kg.
The tripod is based on a two-inch diameter legs made of stainless steel profiles, thus guaranteeing maximum stability of the entire system. Adjusting the height of the tripod with the EQ6 mounting is possible from 1069 mm in the lowest setting up to 1544 mm in the highest setting when the tripod legs are maximally distributed. The height of the mount itself (without a tripod) EQ6 is 406 mm. Mounting the optical tube for assembly is possible with the "dovetail" mounting rail available in the Celestron offer or other manufacturers of astronomical equipment.
The GoTo SynScan remote control is a full and extended version that allows tracking and finding objects in the sky. The SynScan remote control provides three tracking speeds: stellar, lunar, solar objects in Dual Axis (RA) modes, RA (RA axis). The following alignment procedures are available: One-star Alignment, Two-star Alignment, Three-star Alignment.
The database contains 25 definable objects by the user, as well as a full database of Messier, NGC and IC objects (13,436 objects in total). The pilot has also been programmed to easily find planets or the moon. Among its advanced features, it is worth paying attention to the mode of minimizing vibrations during long exposure shooting and software error correction periodic (PEC) as well as PC ports to control the telescope using a computer (RS-232 port) and Auto-Guide to precise alignment during photography with a tracking camera.
