Sky-Watcher StarQuest II Equatorial Mount (Steel NEQ2 Tripod)

The Sky-Watcher StarQuest II Equatorial Mount with a steel NEQ2 tripod is a compact and stable mounting solution designed for smaller telescopes. It features a payload capacity of approximately 4 kg, allowing for the safe attachment of instruments such as a Newtonian reflector up to 130 mm in diameter, a short refractor (up to approx. 100 mm), or a 127 mm Maksutov telescope.

Key Advantages

• 4 kg Payload Capacity: Ideal for smaller astronomical instruments.
• Steel Tripod: Adjustable legs provide high structural rigidity and effective vibration damping.
• Precise Control: Both axes are equipped with slow-motion controls for smooth object tracking.
• Upgradeable: Compatible with an optional RA axis motor drive for automatic tracking.

Product Description

The solid tripod with steel adjustable legs ensures high structural rigidity and effectively dampens vibrations. As a result, the image remains stable even at higher magnifications. The mount is also easy to operate – both axes are equipped with precise slow-motion control knobs, enabling smooth object tracking and accurate telescope pointing.

The compact design of the mount head and its ability to be quickly disassembled facilitate the transport and storage of the entire set. Additionally, the StarQuest II mount offers the option to install an optional drive on the RA (Right Ascension) axis, which allows for automatic object tracking and makes long observing sessions even easier.
