Skywatcher EQ6 Syntrek Equatorial Mount

Specially designed to support larger telescope tubes, these high-precision equatorial mount features engraved aluminum setting circles and a latitude scale, built-in illuminated polarscope for both North and Southern Hemisphere use, large R.A. and DEC. locking clamps, and retractable counterweight shaft and removeable counterweights.

The saddle plate on the top of the mount accepts generic dovetail bars made by Sky-Watcher and many other companies. The dovetail bar is held securely by dual hand clamps. Setting circles are provided on both axes.
