The new HEQ5-R Synscan™ Computerised Go-To mounting is an exciting evolutionary progression of the highly esteemed HEQ5. The modern optimised design of the HEQ5-R PRO incorporates features that serious imagers will immediately appreciate, such as;
► Increased Stability & Payload capacity of 15kg for Astro-Photography due to larger Worm Wheel axis diameter
► Increased Accuracy for Tracking & Guiding with more teeth on R.A. & DEC Worm Wheels
► Synchronous Belt Driven, resulting in minimal backlash - Even quieter, smoother operation with higher torque and better results when guiding.
► Easier Connectivity with external power and USB Ports
► Superior Latitude adjustment controls with greater range of latitudes possible
► Built-in SNAP camera control port
► PPEC worm gear and worm periodic error correction function (avoids having to constantly re-train)
► Built-in carrying handle for convenient transportation
