SkyWatcher BD DUAL SPEED 200/1000 AZEQ6 Pro GoTo SkyWatcher Telescope Pack with personalized astrophotography course
IN TELESCOPIOMANIA WE OFFER YOU NOW WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, OUR CUSTOMIZED COURSE OF ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY INITIATION.
Newton reflector optical tubes have a great light gathering capacity combined with great 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. The mirrors used have the most complete aluminization treatments, guaranteeing the durability of the equipment.
SKYWATCHER is aware that the amateur astronomer places great expectations on the equipment he/she purchases. In this sense SKYWATCHER has been able to guarantee the satisfaction of the users of its equipment for decades.
The Newton reflecting telescopes that we supply at Telescopiomania.com are equipped as standard with the SKYWATCHER Crayford Dual Speed focuser (with dual speed reducer).
Another important feature of this DUAL SPEED tube is the fact that it has a slightly shorter length than normal to improve the performance of the equipment when performing astrophotography at prime focus. Its performance can be greatly improved with a coma corrector such as the BAADER PLANETARIUM MPCC .
The new SKYWATCHER AZ-EQ6 SYNSCAN mount offers optimum stability and pointing precision for a wide range of heavy professional photography and video equipment. It is a hybrid mount with the possibility to work in Altazimuthal format for general use and also in Equatorial format for astrophotography. The SKYWATCHER AZ-EQ6 SYNSCAN mount is supplied with the SYNSCAN control knob that includes dual firmware for both AZ and EQ formats. It can track and locate more than 42,900 celestial objects stored in its database.
The SKYWATCHER AZ-EQ6 SYNSCAN mount is capable of carrying heavy professional photography or video equipment. It is also very easy to transport and efficient thanks to its weight of only 15Kg and its load capacity of 25Kg (excluding the counterweight).
Tracking made easy -- Freedom Find™
With the patented FREEDOM FIND (dual-encoder) technology the telescope can be moved either manually or electronically, on both axes and without losing information about its position or alignment. After moving to a new object, the telescope will automatically start tracking the new object precisely. There will be no need to re-align the telescope during the entire observing session. This technological feature is very positively valued by Telescopiomania as it incorporates a functionality that until now was only available to users with professional mounts.
New features:
German Equatorial/Altacimutal dual mode mount.
Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC). PPEC can be calibrated with an Autoguider or via PC.
Improved and more reliable power connector.
Encoder on both axes allows the position of the mount to be known at all times. Users can disengage and move the mount without losing the correct alignment of the mount.
The best innovations according to Telescopiomania:
- Belt-driven axis displacement.
- Very smooth movement minimizing the Periodic Error.
- Virtually no backlash.
- Quieter than other frames in its class.
- Programmable shutter control for DSLR cameras.
- Motor controller board for increased torque and precision.
- Mount head prepared to accept VIXEN and LOSMANDY type dovetails (45/75mm)
- Illuminated polar finder is included as standard.
We also highlight:
- Motion resolution: approximately 0.14 arc seconds.
- Includes electronic shutter control port for DSLR.
- Autoguiding port.
- PEC control in EQ mode.
- Polar alignment facilitated by the included illuminated polar finder.
- Alignment methods: 1, 2 or 3 stars (EQ) / alignment to 2 stars or to the brightest star (AZ)
- Connection to the telescope: 2 clamps are supplied that accept VIXEN and LOSMANDY type dovetails.
- AR/DEC crowns: D=92.5mm, 180 teeth, made of brass.
- AR/DEC shafts: D=40mm, made of steel.
- Latitude adjustment range: 10º to 70º (EQ), 90º (AZ)
- Azimuth adjustment range: over ± 9o
Special applications of NEQ6 PRO and AZEQ6 PRO mounts:
We at Telescopiomania would like to emphasize that the SKYWATCHER NEQ6 PRO and AZEQ6 PRO mounts are not simple GOTO mounts whose application is reduced to the astronomical field. Some customers also use GOTO mounts of this type as a stable and precise platform to perform specific positioning or to follow the rotational motion of the Earth (installation of solar panels, oil extraction platforms, etc).
