Pack SkyWatcher Black Diamond 150/750 Dual Speed Telescope with HEQ5 Pro GOTO with personalized initiation course
IN TELESCOPIOMANIA WE OFFER YOU NOW TOGETHER WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, OUR PERSONALIZED COURSE OF INITIATION IN ASTRONOMY AND USE OF YOUR GOTO TELESCOPE.
The SKYWATCHER telescopes of the HEQ5 series offer astronomical telescopes of high optical quality for the discerning amateur. The newton reflecting telescopes feature high light gathering capability combined with portability. They are capable of distinguishing outstanding, fine details of solar system and deep sky objects. Their large aperture allows you to observe galaxies, nebulae and star clusters the way you've always wanted to see them.
SKYWATCHER's attention to detail and high standards ensure that the user will always have a telescope in his hands that will give him the best of its capabilities.
SKYWATCHER is aware that the amateur astronomer places high expectations on the equipment he purchases. In this sense SKYWATCHER has been able to guarantee the satisfaction of the users of its equipment for decades.
The present equipment consists of a newton 150/750mm reflecting optical tube and the German HEQ5 SynScan GOTO equatorial mount.
SKYWATCHER telescopes that are supplied with a German equatorial mount with 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 bezel system for precision mechanical incremental movement minimizing gear backlash.
Speeds and tracking modes:
The versatility of the SynScan system allows for multiple 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 invaluably appreciate the presence of the AUTO-GUIDER port that allows autoguider functions to be performed via 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.
