Sky-Watcher NEQ3-2 Equatorial Mount

Advantages

• German equatorial mount NEQ3-2
• Load capacity 5.5 kg (tube up to 150 mm)
• To get started in visual observation
• Easily transportable

For hobbyists interested in visual observing with a telescope up to 150mm in diameter, the NEQ3-2 mount allows for quality observations without too much 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 supports many beginner telescopes up to 150mm diameter (5.5kg max) or telescopes up to 100mm diameter. It has fine movements in azimuth and latitude to facilitate positioning and to compensate for the rotation of the earth (keeping the object in the center of the eyepiece field).

The optical tube is adapted using a Vixen-type female dovetail. An accessory tray ensures good rigidity of the assembly. The NEQ3-2 mount can receive a polar finder (option #SW0123 ) on the polar axis to quickly establish the station. The visual observer will appreciate the GOTO SynScan automatic signaling system 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 NEQ3-2 mount is responsible for moving the instrument towards the target you want to observe.
