SkyWatcher Equatorial Mount EQ5-Steel

Sky-Watcher Equatorial Mount EQ5 with Tripod

The mount is a solid base for telescopes up to 10 kg weight. For example, it can carry a Newtonian telescope or a Schmidt-Cassegrain up to 200 mm aperture or a refractor up to 150 mm aperture in a compact design. The mounting convinces above all by a good mechanical quality, such as ball bearing axes or precise worms. This and the optimal expandability allow the mount to grow with your requirements. The mount EQ5 is a purchase for the whole life. We see the EQ5 as an optimal mount for the upscale entry into astronomy. The EQ5 does not obstruct any future development possibilities, for example for astrophotography.

The EQ5 is very expandable

The EQ5 is THE standard for many accessory manufacturers. For this reason, there is a wealth of useful accessories for the mount, which we have linked to the accessories recommendations, such as for example:

  • Stepper motors with controls
  • GoTo motor system with control (SKGOTOKIT)
  • Optical and electronic polar finder scope
  • Dovetail bars and double mounts for astrophotography
  • Tripods, pier top (half pier), piers for fixed installation
  • Accessory holder for the counterweight rod
