SKYWATCHER EQ6-R PRO MOUNT + BAG + POWER SUPPLY - Hand Controller is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro bundle contains the mount with tripod, high quality Geoptik pack-in bag to protect the mount while travelling and our fully Australian-certified 12V 5A power supply.
The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro is the result of years of improving the EQ6 design and includes your choice of hand controller or Wi-Fi adapter instead of the hand controller. The new transmission belts between the motors and worm gears reduce the backlash for improved guiding accuracy. The integrated bubble level and the adjustable tripod legs make the levelling easy, the azimuth and altitude axis can be fine adjusted for a precise polar alignment.
The Geoptik "pack in bag" for the SkyWatcher EQ6-R offers an easy and effective solution to transport your mount.
The bag fits the original packaging foam of your EQ6-R mount. All you need to do is remove the original packaging foam from the mount cardboard box and fit it in the Geoptik pack in bag.
Testar's 12V DC 5A power supply has a screw lockable output plug and IEC AC input cable for the Saxon Az-Eq6, Skywatcher AZ-EQ5, AZ-EQ6, EQ8-R, EQ8-Rh, EQ6-R Pro and the new NEQ6 mount. Fully Australian certified - unlike many generic power supplies that come with overseas products, this is fully compliant with all safety certifications!
