Designed and built to provide a versatile platform for astronomers and astrophotographers of all levels, the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 Alt-Az / Equatorial GoTo Mount with Tripod is outfitted with precision motors, a quiet low-backlash belt drive, a computer controller, and a sturdy tripod to provide solid and reliable platform for both long duration observation and imaging.
This unique mount ships configured as a German Equatorial mount capable of long-term Right Ascension tracking when properly polar aligned. To expand its versatility and usability, it can be reconfigured to a more basic alt-azimuth mount for fast observation sessions, and with a simple mode change on the hand controller it will function flawlessly with dual-axis tracking. For star parties or separate observation and imaging rigs, it can be converted to a dual optical tube assembly (OTA) setup with the addition of an optional dovetail saddle that installs in place of the counterweight shaft.
The SynScan hand controller computer system has an internal database of 42,900 celestial objects including the Messier, NGC, and IC catalogs plus planets and stars. To keep it current, its firmware is updatable through the built-in serial port via updates downloaded through the internet. With multiple assisted alignment options, a wide slew speed range, and automatic tracking capabilities, finding and keeping objects centered in its field of view is easy, no matter if you're viewing the fast-moving moon or much slower deep-space subjects.
Mount Configurations
- Three configurations based on need
- Equatorial (EQ) mode: Precise astronomical tracking for observation and imaging
- Alt-azimuth (AZ) mode: General purpose celestial and terrestrial viewing with fast setup for quick observations
- Dual OTA mode: The ability to mount two OTAs, opposed to each other, on a single mount for star parties or separate observation and imaging rigs, requires the installation of a second optional dovetail saddle in place of the counterweight shaft
Mount
- 44-pound payload capacity, excluding counterweights
- Built-in polar alignment scope in the RA axis housing enables precision polar alignment for better EQ tracking accuracy
- Latitude range of 10-70° in EQ mode, and 90° in AZ mode
- ±97deg; azimuth adjustment range
- Dual Vixen and Losmandy-D dovetail saddle makes it compatible with a wide range of OTA's
- ±5 arcseconds native periodic error
- Dual-axis and Equatorial tracking modes
- Primary axis encoder tracks mount position and enables users to move mount manually without having to realign
- 64 micro-step, 1.8° hybrid stepper motor drive
- 180:1 worm drive transmission with 48:12 timing belt drive provides low backlash with smooth & silent slewing
- Two 11-pound counterweights for proper balancing of heavy loads
- 8" long counterweight rod with a 6" extension for balancing heavier equipment like large aperture OTAs, filter wheels, and imaging systems
- Shutter release control for batch exposures of astrophotography
- Integrated Right Ascension and Declination dials for manual celestial navigation
- 11-16 VDC 4A power requirement
