SkyWatcher HEQ5 PRO SynScan German Equatorial Mount
NEW VERSION OF THE MOUNT: Our HEQ5 mounts are supplied with double dovetail mount. That is, the mounts are prepared to accept both dovetailed and dovetailed optical tubes, such as Vixen, as well as dovetailed tubes. This makes this mount much more versatile than its predecessor.
The German SKYWATCHER equatorial mounts with the integrated SynScan system are high-quality observing platforms with well thought-out mechanics and electronics.
Motors, crowns and bearings:
The SKYWATCHER mounts of the SynScan series use DC stepper motors with high torque capacity and microstepping control technology for maximum precision. Bronze crown and worm gear system for precision mechanical incremental movement minimizing gear backlash.
Tracking speeds and modes
The versatility of the SynScan system allows various search and guidance speeds to be selected. The tracking modes are: Lunar, Solar and Sidereal. The mount is compatible with use in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Database
The SynScan computer includes a database of over 40,000 objects in memory. The library includes objects for advanced studies, following the existing catalog system: NGC, IC, Caldwell, Messier and other lists plus 25 user-definable objects (comets, asteroids, etc).
Astrophotography
Astrophotography enthusiasts will greatly appreciate the presence of the AUTO-GUIDER port that allows autoguider functions to be performed through a PC. The SynScan firmware includes the SynScangramming algorithm for periodic error correction (this error is natural and inherent to all corona-bisenfin systems). In addition, this algorithm can be complemented with the Backlash compensation function (technical term to describe gear backlash) for both AR and DEC. In this way it is possible to have uniform GOTO's and tracking.
