-
The Sky-Watcher HEQ5 GoTo Mount with TripodSynScan mount has been designed for use by novices and experts alike. It provides high-precision tracking and has built-in autoguider ports. This heavy-duty HEQ5 Pro mount is a smaller version of the sturdy EQ6 Pro mount. It is specially designed for observers who need the steadiness of the EQ6 Pro mount but find its use too physically demanding. But make no mistake, the HEQ5 Pro can be that perfect mid-range rock-solid platform you build your astroimaging rig on.

For novice users, the user-friendly menu allows automatic slewing to 42,900+ objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The hand controller can be connected to a PC using the built-in USB-B port and a USB-B cable (not included).
Sky-Watcher includes an illuminated polar finderscope to aid in the alignment process. The finderscope features a circular grid reticle for the Northern Hemisphere, consistent with today's popular polar alignment apps. For astronomers in the Southern Hemisphere, the constellation Octans is built into the reticle as well. Even without a clear view of Polaris, the HEQ5 Pro can be polar aligned using the SynScan hand controller. Simply choose one of the visible stars listed and use the latitude adjustment screws to center it in the eyepiece.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does this particular item count with a threaded hole in the clutch ring? I heard that some instances of this mount (probably from earlier releases) got no thread, thus no way to attach a counterweight. Thank you.
A: This is the only information being offered bt Sky-Watcher https://www.skywatcherusa.com/products/az-gti-mount
Q: 2. Which power adapter works with this mount? Thanks.
A: Power consumption in Az-Gti is very low. any 12v source above 2A will do the trick. Average energy consumption is around 750mah in idle. slewing may double. you can even use 12v powerbanks. I have a 8.000mah and it works the night on a single charge.
Q: 3. Mounting plates aren't listed under accessories: what mounting plate would I need for mounting super-telephoto lenses? (And WHY are none listed under "accessories" for the EQ6-R?)
A: Your lenses will require that they have a tripod collar to attach a Explore Scientific DSLR Camera Vixen-Style Dovetail Assembly (11") BH #EXDSLRCDA • MFR #DSLRCDA They do come in different lengths.
Q: 4. Is this the regular HEQ5 or the HEQ5 PRO?

Q: 5. Will this work with my Celestron NexStar 130SLT 130mm f/5 Reflector Telescope?

A: The Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro Equatorial GoTo Mount with Tripod Kit BH #SKEQ6RV2 • MFR #S30300 does not come with an AC adapter.
Q: 7. Here is my question: Is Sky-Watcher HEQ5 GoTo Equatorial Mount with Tripod compatible with Losmandy-style dovetail plate (does it have Losmandy-style saddle?)? I plan to use this mount & tripod with Sky-Watcher Evostar 150DX ED APO 150mm f/8 Refractor. Thanks!

Q: 9. will this work with my sky-watcher classic 250p, the 10' dob?

Q: 10. Can I use CQ350 mount with Skywatcher Stainless Steel 2" Tripod for EQ6, to Celestron C11 SCT
