Product Description

Sky-Watcher NEQ6 Pro SynScan™ GoTo Telescope Mount – A High-Precision Astrophotography Powerhouse

The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Mount for Serious Observers & Astrophotographers

The Sky-Watcher NEQ6 Pro SynScan™ is a powerful, computerised Go-To equatorial mount, designed for serious deep-sky astrophotography and high-precision tracking. With a 44lb (20kg) payload capacity, this mount provides stable, vibration-free performance, making it ideal for imaging with large telescopes and heavy accessories.

Featuring belt-driven stepper motors for reduced backlash, precise polar alignment controls, and a 42,000+ object SynScan database, the NEQ6 Pro is built for long-exposure imaging and accurate object tracking.


Key Features
