SKY WATCHER EQ6-R PRO

The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R PRO is a German equatorial GoTo mount built for serious visual observers and astrophotographers who need rock-solid tracking and precise pointing. Driven by the SynScan computerized hand controller, it slews automatically to any target in its full Messier, NGC and IC database while keeping it locked in the field of view. A redesigned belt-driven drive system, integrated autoguider port and periodic error correction make it an outstanding platform for long-exposure deep-sky imaging.
