The Sky-Watcher NEQ5 equatorial mount is a do-it-all mount, a worthy successor to the legendary Vixen GP . Very modular, it is possible to add several options depending on whether it is intended for observation or photography: motorization, Goto automatic aiming kit, polar scope, etc. Its load capacity is close to 9kg in visual observation ; The NEQ5 will therefore support many optical tubes, from the small 80mm refractor to the Newtonian telescope up to 200mm in diameter.

In photography, the load will be limited to 7.5 kg , for greater comfort and precision. Like all equatorial mounts, the NEQ5 is equipped with an azimuth and latitude motion set (for positioning) and a right ascension and declination motion set for pointing and tracking the stars.

The optical tube is adapted using a Vixen-type female dovetail. An accessory tray ensures good rigidity of the assembly. The NEQ5 mount can receive a polar finder (option #SW0124 ) on the polar axis to quickly establish station. The visual observer will appreciate the GOTO SynScan automatic signaling system (optional) delivered via easy-to-use manual control. In fact, it is not necessary to know the position of stars or distant stars in the deep sky, the Go-To system of the NEQ5 mount is responsible for moving the instrument towards the target you want to observe.
