SkyWatcher Black Diamond DUAL SPEED 200/1000 NEQ6 Pro Go-To SkyWatcher Reflector Telescope

SkyWatcher Black Diamond DUAL SPEED 200/1000 NEQ6 Pro Go-To SkyWatcher Reflector Telescope.

Newton optical reflector tubes feature high light gathering capability 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 acquires. 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 Crayford Dual Speed focuser.

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 prime focus astrophotography. Its performance can be greatly improved with a coma corrector such as the BAADER PLANETARIUM MPCC .

Without a doubt, the SkyWatcher NEQ6 PRO II equatorial mount with SynScan (GOTO) is the jewel in SkyWatcher's crown. With unmatched reliability and robustness, the NEQ6 equatorial mount is the guarantee to start deep sky photography with guarantees and at the most economical price possible.

The German SKYWATCHER equatorial mounts with the integrated SynScan system are high-quality observing platforms with well thought-out 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 controller, 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.

Motors, slewing rings and bearings:

The SKYWATCHER mounts of the SynScan series use DC stepper motors with high Torque capacity and micro-stepping control technology for maximum accuracy. Bronze crown and worm gear system for precision mechanical incremental movement to minimize gear backlash.

Speeds and tracking modes:

The versatility of the SynScan system allows various search and tracking 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-defined 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.
