Mount equatorial NEQ3-2 Skywatcher

Description

All about the Sky-Watcher NEQ3-2 mount

For hobbyists interested in visual observation with a telescope up to 150mm in diameter, the NEQ3-2 mount allows for quality observations without excessive vibration. The most massive version, the HEQ5 Pro Go-To mount, will be preferable for those who want to get started in long exposure astrophotography. The NEQ3-2 mount accommodates many entry-level telescopes up to 150mm in diameter (5.5kg max) OR glasses up to 100mm in diameter. It has fine movements in azimuth and latitude to facilitate positioning and to compensate for the earth's rotation (to keep the object in the center of the eyepiece field).

The adaptation of the optical tube is carried out by means of a female Vixen dovetail. An accessory tray ensures good rigidity of the assembly. The NEQ3-2 mount can receive a polar finder (option) on the polar axis to quickly achieve station setup. The visual observer will appreciate the GOTO SynScan auto pointer system delivered via easy-to-use hand control. In fact, it is not necessary to know the position of distant stars or stars in the deep sky, the Go-To system of the NEQ3-2 mount takes care of moving the instrument towards the target you want to observe.
