Sky-Watcher EQ8-RH Equatorial GoTo Mount

Building off their EQ8-R mount, the Sky-Watcher EQ8-RH Equatorial GoTo Mount benefits from the addition of a Renishaw incremental encoder on the right ascension (RA) axis. This virtually eliminates Periodic Error during tracking and delivers precise guiding for photographing elusive deep-sky objects like wispy nebulae and faint galaxies that require multiple long exposures to tease out their details. The mount itself is designed to carry heavy loads, including large optical tube assemblies (OTAs), guide scopes, and imaging rigs. A SNAP port connects to a DSLR shutter release, and the programmable SynScan hand box automatically controls the exposure time and number of frames with up to eight profiles so your astrophotography stays on schedule without manual intervention that can cause unwanted vibrations or errors.
