Sky-Watcher SynScan kit for EQ3-2 (SW-4250)

The SynScan EQ3 GoTo upgrade kit is a complete set that converts the standard Sky-Watcher EQ3-2 equatorial mount into the Pro version, making it ideal for both visual astronomy and astrophotography.

The declination and right ascension axes are driven by stepper motors, with torque transferred through durable gears. All required accessories are included in the kit, making assembly straightforward and intuitive.

Control is managed by the SynScan hand controller, which provides functions such as periodic error correction, backlash compensation, and access to a large database of astronomical objects.

Note: The kit includes only a power cable with a cigarette lighter plug. A separate mains power adapter ESPE 12V/3A must be purchased.
