Heavy-duty German equatorial mount with a 9 kg payload capacity. The Sky-Watcher EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty features slow-motion controls on both axes, engraved aluminium setting circles, precise latitude and azimuth adjustment and a 1.75-inch stainless-steel tripod.
Designed to provide precision and stability, the Sky-Watcher EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty is a sturdy German equatorial mount for astronomers requiring a solid and upgradeable manual mounting system.
The mount rests on a large adjustable stainless-steel tripod equipped with an accessory tray. Its 1.75-inch tubular legs provide a stable base for the telescope.
Payload capacity is 9 kg. Two 5.1 kg counterweights are supplied to balance the optical tube mounted on the EQ5.
Manual slow-motion controls are provided on both right ascension and declination axes. They allow precise adjustment and manual tracking of celestial objects.
The EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty also features a bubble level, a latitude adjuster with micrometer scale and an azimuth adjustment system for polar alignment.
Engraved aluminium setting circles complete the mount's equipment.
9 kg Payload Capacity
The EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty has a payload capacity of 9 kg.
This allows a range of compatible optical tubes to be installed while maintaining the stability required for astronomical observation.
German Equatorial Mount
The EQ5 uses a German equatorial configuration.
Once correctly polar aligned, this architecture allows the apparent movement of the sky to be followed using the right ascension and declination axes.
Slow-Motion Controls on Both Axes
Manual slow-motion controls are provided on both axes.
They allow precise telescope positioning and manual tracking during observation.
Precision Latitude Adjustment
The mount features a latitude adjustment system with a micrometer scale.
This assists in positioning the polar axis according to the latitude of the observing location.
Azimuth Polar-Alignment Adjustment
An azimuth adjustment system is integrated into the mount.
It allows precise corrections to be made during polar alignment.
Built-In Bubble Level
A bubble level is supplied to assist with levelling the mount before use.
Engraved Aluminium Setting Circles
The EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty features engraved aluminium setting circles.
These allow celestial coordinates to be used for manual positioning.
Built-In Polar Scope Holder
The mount includes a holder designed for an optional polar alignment scope.
The polar scope itself is available separately.
Optional Motor Drives
Optional DC motor drives can be installed on the EQ5 Deluxe Heavy Duty.
Two configurations are available:
• Single-axis motor drive
• Dual-axis motor drive
These systems add automatic tracking capability to the mount.
1.75-Inch Stainless-Steel Tripod
The mount is supplied with a large adjustable tripod featuring 1.75-inch stainless-steel tubular legs.
An accessory tray is also included.
Two 5.1 kg Counterweights
Two 5.1 kg counterweights are supplied.
They allow the optical tube and installed accessories to be balanced correctly.
Mount Weight
Stated product weight is approximately 10 kg, excluding counterweights.
