The EQ8-R is an equatorial, extra heavy-duty observatory mount with a payload capacity of up to 50kg. It runs very quietly and is equipped with the well-known SynScan GoTo with V.5 hand control box. The mount can automatically find and track over 42,900 celestial objects from the extensive computer database.    <\/p>\n<p>Also included in the set is the heavy column tripod for the EQ8-R mount, which can be precisely leveled with the supplied supports. Two counterweights of 10 kg each and the V.5 hand control box are also included. The mount can also be operated wirelessly with an optionally available WiFi dongle and the SynScan Pro app.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new EQ8-R has been further developed in many respects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Internal cable routing to prevent the usual cable chaos<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Improved connection options (USB, 12Volt outputs)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Optimized positioning of the drive motors for improved balance<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Improved clutches on the axles for more holding power<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Improved clamping screws on the prism clamp for better comfort and greater clamping force<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Belt drive in the declination axis for smoother running<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>**The new mount is no longer equipped with Freedom-Find encoders**.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scope of delivery:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EQ8-R Pro mount<\/li>\n<li>SynScan V.5 hand control box\/cable <\/li>\n<li>2 pieces 10kg counterweights<\/li>\n<li>Column stand with height-adjustable supports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>!Power supply and batteries are not included!<\/p>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10 partialHeader\">GENERAL<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-24\">\n<div class=\"row attributrow\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">Shipping weight<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-14\">84kg<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-24\">\n<div class=\"row attributrow\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">Shipping size<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-14\">50x50x40cm \/ 2 pieces 25x13x26cm \/ 99x50x50cm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10 partialHeader\">ASSEMBLY<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-24\">\n<div class=\"row attributrow\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">Type<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-14\">Equatorial motorized mount<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-24\">\n<div class=\"row attributrow\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">GoTo<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-14\">Yes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-24\">\n<div class=\"row attributrow\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">Max.
