Sky-Watcher NEQ3 Synscan (GOTO) German Equatorial Mount Product Info

Sky-Watcher offers simple solutions for users who would like to attach their smaller telescope to a convenient computerized system but do not wish to deal with the weight of the HEQ5 or EQ6 mount. The NEQ3 SynScan mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 Pros-SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button.

The NEQ3 SynScan mounts are the perfect instrument for novice visual observers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and in-depth knowledge of the night sky.
