Mount EQ-5 GOTO Synscan Pro by Sky-Watcher offers a simple solution at a reasonable price for people who want to equip their telescope with the GoTo search and tracking system, but do not want the need for a heavy and expensive assembly. HEQ5 or EQ6 class. Equatorial assembly EQ5 SynScan uses similar solutions to HEQ5/EQ6, being lighter and more portable. It guarantees high comfort of work and precision in searching for objects while maintaining much less weight compared to its larger counterparts. The assembly with a load capacity of over 9 kg allows the mounting of many instruments, from small refractors to large ED120, Mak180 or 8-inch Newton or Schmidt-Cassegrain.
