| Starscope Anti-Vibration Pads. . . . . Rs. 660 |
Set of three pads (for your viewing pleasure) |
Damp out vibrations transmitted through tripod, mount and telescope tubes for more stabilize images with your telescope. Viscous-elastic material neutralizes vibrations transmitted through touching the instrument. |
Ideally suit both for visual astronomy and astrophotography. The effect is dramatic. |

NEW ADVANCE DRIVE SYSTEM for ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY |
The STARTRACKER SYSTEM Reflector and refractor up to 150mm Telescope tube assembly can easily be mount / attach to this new equatorial mount and powered by a 9 volt or 6 volt DC power - single or dual axis motor drive system with hand pad controller depending upon the model and telescope tube assembly size. |
This replaces standard Altazimuth mount of STARTRACKER SYSTEM Telescope, and a PIER STAND preferably replaces Metal Tripod, while other specification remains the same. |

SPECIFICATION
|
Equatorial Mount with RA and DEC Axis provides the precision and stability needed for serious observing. A single axis or a dual axis motor drive attached, it becomes the perfect instruments for deep sky Astrophotography. This quality Equatorial mount is built with a larger mount head for greater stability and tracking precision. Specially designed to support STARTRACKER SYSTEM Telescope tubes. The convenient dual setting circle allows observers to locate the object by setting the R.A. and DEC. coordinates. It also features 360 degree worm gear allows slow-motion (variable speed) motor tracking control on both axes. Retractable counterweight shaft and counterweight. The mount is supported on a heavy metal pier stand unless otherwise specify.

DUAL AXIS
|
DC - Powered Motor for Star tracking with Equatorial mount. |
Enjoy the convenience of precise, automatic star tracking. The attached motor on R.A. or R.A. and DEC. axis of Equatorial mount permits the celestial object will stay in the field of view instead of drifting out every minute. It makes serious observing / astrophotography so much easier. |
It is easy to operate The fix rate single axis - Single Axis motor Drive with Hand Control and / or Dual Axis Motor drive with Hand Controller, designed for these mounts are essential for long exposure astrophotography and serious observation. It precisely controls the telescopes tacking speed to compensate for the Earth’s rotations during long exposure of celestial objects. The Dual axis is available with built-in 2x, 4x and 8x speeds along with a hand controller and also included is an automatic clutch mechanism so that, even when the motor drive is in operation, the telescope tube may be moved manually at will in any direction. When the observer releases manual contact with the telescope the drive automatically resumes tracking. The DC motor drive runs on 4 "D" cell batteries (not included) and Fixed Rate Single Axis uses 9 volt alkaline battery. Single axis or dual axis with two Motors for each axis, clutches, cable, hand pad controller and a battery case are included

| HEQ5 SYNTREK |
These extra heavy-duty mount are the largest in Sky-Watcher mount family. Specially designed to support larger telescope tubes, these high-precision equatorial mount features engraved aluminum setting circles and a latitude scale, built-in illuminated polar scope for both North and Southern Hemisphere use, large R.A. and DEC. locking clamps, and retractable counterweight shaft and removable counterweights. The proposed strong and rigid stainless steel field tripod is remarkably stable with adjustable height. The saddle plate on the top of the mount accepts generic dovetail bars made by Sky-Watcher and many other companies. The dovetail bar is held securely by dual hand clamps. Setting circles are provided on both axes. |
The SynTrekTM hand control is designed for the purpose of providing a simple slewing and tracking control. The small and versatile SynTrekTM hand control provides automatic tracking of celestial objects as soon as the power is turned on. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to many other functions the SynTrekTM has to offer. |
The HEQ5 and EQ6 SynTrek mounts can be upgraded to computerized SynScan system by simply changing the hand control to SynScan hand control. See HEQ5 and EQ6 Pro mounts for specifications for the mounts and details on the SynScan hand control.

|
| EQ6 |
The Sky-watcher EQ6 Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount is the first of its kind, it is a precision instrument capable of carrying massive loads but at the same time it is very reasonably priced.
|
The EQ6 equatorial head has a black powder coating finish and weighs 17 Kg. It comes equipped with a removable counterweight shaft with a diameter of 18 mm. The Equatorial head also features a built in polar finder scope with focusing eyepiece. The polar finder is non-illuminated. However, several after-market illuminators fit the mount perfectly, making this upgrade easy and very cost effective. Both axis are locked down with 2 robust hand clamps.
|
The height of the mount from tripod support to the top of the saddle plate is 406mm. The lowest possible height with the tripod 1179mm(updated) and the maximum extendable height with the tripod is 1714mm(updated). The saddle plate on the top of the mount accepts generic dovetail bars made by Sky-Watcher and many other companies. The dovetail bar is held securely by dual hand clamps. Setting circles are provided on both axes. |
The mount is equipped with a built-in dual axis drives. The drives are controlled by a hand paddle with a switch for both Northern and Southern hemisphere operation and slewing speeds of 2x, 8x, and 16x the Sidereal rate.
|
The tripod is made from stainless steel and has tubular legs making for a very sturdy system. The tripod is adjustable in height from 85 cm to 147cm (updated) using quick release clamps on each leg. The weight of the tripod is 7.4 Kg. An accessory tray is also provided which also adds overall stability to the mount. Two (2) counterweights are included, each weighing 5.4 kg.
|
Out of the box, the EQ6 is designed to accommodate telescope payloads up to 40lbs and is excellent for visual observations and short term unguided CCD imaging with most telescopes of conventional design. It will easily handle refractors up to 200mm and classic Newtonians up to 14" in aperture. Larger aperture custom telescopes in light-weight graphite tubes can also be accommodated on a case by case basis. |
