The SynScan EQ3 GoTo upgrade kit is a complete set enabling the conversion of the traditional SkyWatcher EQ3-2 equatorial mount to the Pro version, which is perfect for both visual observations and astrophotography setups.
The drive of the declination and right ascension axes is realized by stepper motors. The torque is transferred to the axes by means of durable gears. Thanks to the inclusion of all the necessary accessories in the set, their assembly is trouble-free and very intuitive.
The entire set is controlled by the SynScan controller, whose software is responsible for, among other things, periodic error control and backlash reduction, and has a huge database of astronomical objects.
Note! Only a power supply with a cigarette lighter plug is included in the set. The appropriate mains power supply must be purchased separately. • precise drive of the declination and right ascension axes via stepper motors and gears • control via the SynScan smartphone application via WiFi • periodic error control and drive backlash compensation ( backlash effect) • faster and more accurate search for interesting objects thanks to the use of PAE ( Pointing Accuracy Enhancement ) technology • compatible mount: Sky-Watcher EQ3-2 • drive: stepper motors, 1.8° / step • transmission: gears • Panning speed: 1x, 2x, 16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, 400x, 500x, 600x, 800x (3.4° / second) • tracking speeds: sidereal, lunar, solar • guiding speeds: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x • periodic error correction: yes • guidance accuracy: <1" • autoguider connector: ST-4 port • set alignment: on two stars, on a single bright star • database: Messier, NGC, IC catalog in SynScan App • communication with computer/smartphone: via WiFi • compliance with the ASCOM standard: yes • power supply: 11 - 15 V, 2 A • maximum load: 9 kg • declination and right ascension axis motors • gears • drive housing with control connectors • engine controller • wiring • screwdriver • Allen key • 12V power cable from the cigarette lighter socket • SynScan WI-Fi adapter 2 years
(note: the 2022 version does not include a remote control, but offers WiFi communication)
 >> FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS << Question : Does the system also track automatically or just guide?
Answer: It guides and tracks, tracks and guides. You don't have to use GOTO (search, guidance), you can use just tracking. When you use GOTO, once you find an object, the system immediately follows the object, keeping it in the field of view for the next minutes and hours. Question : Does the kit include everything you need?
Answer: The set does not include a power supply. To control it, you need a smartphone that supports communication with the installation via WiFi.
