Worthy of the Most Demanding Observing and Imaging Applications
The new standard in affordable, heavy-duty GoTo mounts, the Atlas EQ-G is now available with GoTo
or dual-axis (non-GoTo) hand controller. The mount supports tube assemblies of up to 40 lbs. and
boasts 2”diameter stainless steel legs. Internal DC stepper motors offer nine slew rates ranging
from 2x to 800x sidereal and three tracking rates: sidereal, lunar, and solar.
With the GoTo controller, select from 13,436 objects and command the mount to automatically
pinpoint them. Backlash compensation and programmable PEC provide the responsiveness for guiding
and the tracking accuracy needed for astrophotography. There’s also a jack for a CCD autoguider.
Mount includes RS-232 interface cable, two 11-lb. counterweights, illuminated polar-axis scope,
and 13” dovetail mounting bar. Requires external 12-volt DC power source or AC-to-DC wall adapter
(see Suggested Accessories). Weighs 54 lbs., not including counterweights.The new standard in affordable, heavy-duty GoTo mounts, the Atlas EQ-G is now available with GoTo
