Product description

The new HEQ5-R Pro is the further development of the very popular HEQ5 Pro mount.

The new version offers

  • greater stability and load capacity for astrophotography thanks to larger diameter worm gears.
  • improved precision for tracking and guiding with more teeth on the RA and DEC worm gears.
  • Toothed belt drive with minimal backlash, quieter running and smoother drive with higher torque
  • easier connection options with external power supply and USB ports
  • Improved pole height adjustment with a larger adjustment range
  • Built-in SNAP connection for camera control
  • PPEC worm error correction function (avoids constant repeated training)
  • Built-in carrying handle for more convenient transport

The included computer-controlled Synscanℱ hand controller allows you to position the telescope on a desired object or select pre-programmed tours of the night sky. The user-friendly menu system allows automatic tracking of over 42,000 objects in the night sky.

With the HEQ5-R Pro, you get a complete system for tracking a telescope for almost any application: a real workhorse, now improved and modernised once again!
