Description
Lightweight Portability, Redefined
The EQ-AL55i Pro is the perfect entry to intermediate level equatorial platform for observers and imagers looking to build a serious rig without breaking the bank.
Redesigned from the popular EQM-35 the EQ-AL55i features fully encased motor housings and two positions for the counterweight bar and optional pier extension making this mount the perfect choice for observers and imagers in lower latitudes.
Featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth SynScan, and ASCOM telescope control, 10kg payload capacity, a guidescope and SNAP port, the EQ-AL55i is a perfect choice for a mid-size imaging mount.
The SynScan Go-To system allows full control in both axes with high precision pointing, allowing you to quickly and accurately locate objects across the night sky. The Go-To system can automatically slew the telescope on command toward planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, clusters and much more. The SynScan has 42,900 memorised celestial objects for an amazing journey in the night sky. The Deep Sky Tour function suggests a list of the most interesting deep sky objects currently visible, so even the novice astronomer can easily observe faint objects at the touch of a button.
