Omegon EQ-500 X DE Mount

Up to 10 kg of weight, but not the kind we burn in the gym.
Do you need a new mount to change the one you have, improve it or directly for your first telescope? The Omegon EQ-500 Its design is simple and easy to use, so you can spend almost all of your time observing.

Summary of advantages:

• Robust equatorial mount for smooth, vibration-free observations with small and medium-sized telescopes
• Precision manual drives to move in any direction ideal for visual observation
• Ball bearing axles for smooth, accurate gliding to your target
• Sturdy stainless steel tripod to hold the telescope firmly
• Adjustment ring with scale to find any object in the celestial atlases

Manual equatorial mount to follow the trajectory of objects
The equatorial design makes it easy to track objects that would otherwise disappear from your field of view. Simply rotate the right ascension axis with its convenient precision mechanism and keep the planet or nebula you are observing within the field of view, regardless of the magnification factor you are applying. Thus, you can enjoy entertaining observation sessions on your own or with the whole family.

Reinforced frame: a change that is worth it
How long did it take you to balance and get a stable image with your old mount? Many mounts are too weak to support some optical tubes. And that is a battle that undermines the desire to practice astronomy and that, however, can be won with this mount. Refractors or medium mirror telescopes hold much better and have better mechanics to ensure a more pleasant observing experience.

Silky smooth shafts
The EQ-500 X mount is equipped with ball bearings on both axes. These glide very smoothly for exact positioning without shaking, even when observing at high magnifications.

Stable tripod
The height-adjustable stainless steel tripod offers a slightly more robust support than aluminum tripods. The solid clamping plate also serves as a tray to store up to 7 1.25" and 2 2" eyepieces so you can keep your accessories close at hand in the dark of night.

Graduated circles to find objects by coordinates
Sometimes help comes in handy to find objects in the vastness of the sky, especially if they are faint. With a celestial atlas and adjustment rings you can find your objects even by astronomical coordinates.

Optional pole finder
If you wish, you can equip your new mount with a pole finder.
