One axis motor for EQ2 mounts

Allows a more reliable wired connection between any Skywatcher Synscan Go-To mount and a PC and certain Android devices. The dongle plugs into the mount’s hand control port and connects to a computer with a USB cable (not supplied). Users can then control a Skywatcher Go-To telescope from a computer by using either the SynScan Pro application for Windows or third party applications like EQMOD and K-Star. The dongle is supplied with cables that support both alt-azimuth and equatorial Synscan Go-To mounts (except the EQ6 Pro when the mount’s handset cable should be used instead). The dongle can also be used for updating the mount's motor firmware.

* USB cable is not included

Note: Sky-Watcher mounts which have a built-in USB port do not require this dongle.

WarpAstron presents its brand new WD-20 Harmonic Drive mount with Direct Drive motor to the market.
WarpAstron therefore offers a transportable mount for astrophotography.
The mount weighs 5.4kg and carries telescopes up to 22kg without a counterweight. With the counterweight and counterweight rod (optional with M12 thread) the mount can also carry telescopes weighing up to 30 kg.

Skywatcher celebrates its 25th year with an instrument with an elegant commemorative design.
Equipped with premium Maksutov Skymax optics with exceptional contrast and sharpness especially in observations of the Moon, planets and double stars, it uses a compact table mount with automatic pointing via Wifi (from tablet or smartphone).
