The new computer-controlled Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R Pro Synscan\u2122 GoTo mount is a remarkable evolutionary advancement of the popular HEQ5 Pro. The HEQ5-R Pro\u2019s modern, optimized design includes features that will immediately impress experienced amateur astronomers, such as: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Improved stability and a payload capacity of 15 kg for astrophotography thanks to a larger diameter of the worm gear shafts<\/li>\n
  • Improved precision for tracking and guiding thanks to the increased number of teeth on the RA and DEC worm gears<\/li>\n
  • Synchronous timing belt drive with minimal backlash\u2014quieter operation and smoother drive with higher torque and better guiding results<\/li>\n
  • Simpler connection options with an external power supply and USB ports<\/li>\n
  • Improved pole height adjustment with a wider adjustment range<\/li>\n
  • PPEC Worm Gear and Worm Error Correction Function (Prevents Constantly Repeated Training)<\/li>\n
  • built-in carrying handle for easier transport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The included computer-controlled Synscan\u2122 hand control allows you to control the mount and position the telescope on the desired object or select preprogrammed tours of the night sky with the push of a single button. The user-friendly menu system enables automatic tracking of over 42,000 objects in the night sky. <\/p>\n
