SkyWatcher BD DUAL SPEED 250/1200 EQ6-R Pro GoTo SkyWatcher Telescope Pack with customized astrophotography course
IN TELESCOPIOMANIA WE OFFER YOU NOW TOGETHER WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, OUR PERSONALIZED COURSE OF ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY INITIATION.
Newton optical reflector tubes feature high light gathering capability combined with high 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 its high level of exigency, ensure that the user will always have in his hands a telescope that will give him the maximum of its possibilities. The mirrors used have the most complete aluminization treatments, guaranteeing the durability of the equipment.
SKYWATCHER is aware that the amateur astronomer places high expectations on the equipment he or 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 supplied by Telescopiomania.com are equipped as standard with the SKYWATCHER focuserCrayford Dual Speed(with double speed reducer).
Another important feature of this tubeDUAL SPEEDIs the fact that it has a slightly shorter length than normal to improve the performance of the equipment when performing prime focus astrophotography. Its performance can be greatly enhanced with a coma corrector such as theMPCCfromBAADER PLANETARIUM.
Without a doubt, the SkyWatcher EQ6-R PRO GOTO equatorial mount is the new jewel in SkyWatcher's crown. With unmatched reliability and robustness, the EQ6-R equatorial mount is the guarantee to start doing deep sky photography with guarantees and at a price as economical as possible for a mount that works with belts and pulleys (not going with crowns and bezels virtually eliminates the presence of backlash or gear backlash to zero).
The German SKYWATCHER equatorial mounts with integrated SynScan system are high-quality observation platforms with sophisticated mechanics and electronics.
The main features of the German GOTO equatorial mounts are summarized below:
PC operation:
SKYWATCHER SynScan mounts come standard with the revolutionary SynScan Computer Controller. Locating an astronomical object has never been so easy and fun. The telescope responds immediately to keystrokes on the control knob, executing the indicated operations. The SynScan series telescopes can also be remotely controlled from a PC using any Planetary software (Cartes du Ciel, The Sky, etc) and via RS-232 connection to the control knob. There is even the possibility to optionally purchase a GPS to facilitate the most accurate entry of time, date and location. The SynScan firmware can be upgraded via internet with a specific and free software.
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 more than 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).
EQ6-R PRO SYNSCAN ™ - A NEW LEGEND IS BORN!
