Product details

Overview

The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R redefines a trusted classic with modern computerised control, designed for both visual observing and astrophotography. Its robust all-metal structure and belt-driven motors deliver smooth, quiet slewing, helping you stay focused on the sky rather than the mechanism. With thoughtful enhancements like an integrated DSLR triggering system and a built-in illuminated polar finder, this mount is crafted to support long sessions under the stars without frequent resets or adjustments.

Key benefits at a glance

  • Precise GoTo tracking and a large object catalog to quickly locate stars, galaxies, and deep-sky targets.
  • Whisper-quiet slewing from belt-driven stepper motors that reduce gear noise and vibration.
  • Generous 44-pound payload capacity, enabling a wide range of optical tubes and imaging gear.
  • Built-in illuminated polar finderscope to simplify alignment in varied observing conditions.
  • Extensive object database and PEC training options to help improve long-exposure results in the field.

Imaging and control features

  • DSLR triggering and a USB connection support streamlined imaging workflows with compatible software.
  • SynScan hand controller offers access to thousands of celestial objects and an intuitive interface for setup and operation.
  • USB-B PC connectivity enables control from astronomy programs on a computer, expanding automation possibilities.
  • Polar alignment aids and latitude adjustment help you align more quickly, even when Polaris is not clearly visible.

Portability and mounting flexibility

A retractable carry handle simplifies transport and setup. The mount supports D- and V-style saddles, making it easier to adapt to different optical tubes. Included counterweights help you balance payloads for steady performance while on the move.

What’s in the box

Along with the mount itself, you’ll find counterweights and a thoughtfully designed setup that prioritizes balance, stability, and ease of use for both visual observing and astrophotography workflows.
