Product description Designed for novice and experienced astronomers alike, the Sky-Watcher USA HEQ5 Equatorial GoTo Mount is built to similar specifications of their more robust mounts for those who are looking for something that is a bit more easy to manage without having to sacrifice performance. It features a hefty 30-pound payload capacity, a motorized mount head with the SynScan computer hand controller, a 1.75" stainless steel adjustable tripod, and a polar axis scope. The mount also has a Vixen-style dovetail saddle for mounting compatible telescope optical tube assemblies (OTAs) and accessories.The brains of the mount is the SynScan controller that is packed with an internal database of nearly 43,000 celestial objects from comets and asteroids to galaxies and nebulae. With multiple slew speeds and automatic tracking capabilities, finding and keeping subjects centered in the field of view is easy—whether you're viewing the fast-moving moon or much slower deep-space subjects.The included polar axis scope is installed through the body of the mount to make your initial polar alignment faster, easier, and more precise. Stainless steel legs and an accessory tray that also doubles as a leg-locking spreader provide a solid and stable platform for all your gear with natural vibration suppression to ensure clear views even at high magnification. This mount head is also outfitted with two counterweights for precisely balancing your optical tube and gear so it will move smoothly without adding excessive load to the motors. - Mount
