Computerised GoTo equatorial mount providing automatic pointing to more than 42,000 celestial objects. The Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro SynScan combines stepper motors, positioning accuracy up to 1 arc-minute and an autoguider interface for astrophotography.
Designed for astronomers seeking precise equatorial control combined with the convenience of a computerised GoTo system, the Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro SynScan can automatically locate and track objects across the night sky.
The SynScan control system provides straightforward operation through its menu and push-button interface. Users can select a specific target or automatically tour different celestial objects.
Its database contains more than 42,000 objects, including the complete Messier, NGC and IC catalogues.
The HEQ5 Pro SynScan also incorporates features intended for astrophotography, including an autoguider interface, selectable guiding rates and stepper motors designed to minimise vibration during long-exposure imaging.
SynScan GoTo System
The computerised control system provides automatic slewing to more than 42,000 celestial objects.
It can be used to select individual targets or tour different objects across the sky.
Database of More Than 42,000 Objects
The database includes the complete:
• Messier catalogue
• NGC catalogue
• IC catalogue
Positioning Accuracy
Stated positioning accuracy is up to 1 arc-minute.
Software compensation for collimation and mechanical mount errors contributes to improved GoTo accuracy.
Stepper Motor Drive
The HEQ5 Pro SynScan uses stepper motors with a 1.8° step angle.
The drive operates with 64 micro-steps.
GoTo Speed up to 3.4° per Second
Maximum slewing speed is:
• 3.4° per second
• 800x
This allows rapid movement between selected targets.
Autoguider Interface
An autoguider interface is provided for astrophotography.
Selectable guiding rates are:
• 0.25x
• 0.50x
• 0.75x
• 1x
Long-Exposure Astrophotography
The mount is designed to minimise vibration for increased stability during long-exposure imaging.
SynScan Hand Control
The hand control provides access to the mount functions and GoTo system.
Its interface is designed for progressive and straightforward operation for both users new to computerised mounts and more experienced astronomers.
External Power Supply
An external power supply is required to operate the mount.
The power supply is not included.
