The EQ2 Equatorial Mount is suited to both beginners & experienced astronomers. It offers very good stability & the tall, fully adjustable aluminium tripod with large accessory tray is a real plus. This mount features 360deg; slow-motion tracking gears on both the right ascension & declination axes with flexible controls. Dual metal setting circles allow location of objects by their R.A. & DEC. coordinates. A separate latitude adjustment aids in polar alignment. An optional D.C. Motor Drive can be installed to the R.A. axis for auto-tracking purposes.
