SkyWatcher AZ-EQ5 SynScan GPS w/ GT Pier Tripod
The Sky-Watcher AZEQ5 Go To Tripod features an equally useful dual operating mode, EQ mode & AZ mode. Come together with hybrid stepper motor drives on both axes for smooth slewing up to 4.2 degree. This SkyWatcher Mount accepts the standard ST-4 style autoguider input for astrophotography and also has a DSLR shutter control port. Control by SynScan Handset with dual AZ/EQ firmware, it can automatically tracks up to 42,900+ celestial objects from its database.
This AZ-EQ5 Go To Mount is equipped with an index on its R.A. worm. Thus the motor controller can keep track of the current position of the worm. After a proper PEC training routine, in which the training data is stored in the motor controller permanently, a user can start the periodic error correction (PEC) at any time to improve the tracking performance for short focal length astrophotography. A training process is not required in the next observing session (assuming that the polar alignment is always accurate). Thus this is a Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC). A user can train the mount with manual guiding or auto-guiding.
Batch Exposures Function
Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 GT mount is equipped with two SNAP ports which can control the shutter releasing of two cameras. Working with the SynScan hand control’s “Camera Control” function, a user can take batch exposures when doing astrophotography. Up to 8 groups of “Exposure-time & Frames” combinations can be set on the SynScan hand controller.
Freedom Find™
This SkyWatcher patented Freedom Find (dual-encoder) technology which allows the telescope to be moved manually or electronically in either axis without losing its alignment or positional information. After moving to a new object the telescope will automatically begin to track the new object accurately. No re-setup is required in one observing session.

Shipping costs are charged by either dead weight or cubic weight (whichever is greater).
Dead weight = The actual weight of the item. Cubic weight = L x W x H (Meters) x Cubic Conversion Rate (250).
Multiply the height x length x width = 0.35 x 0.65 x 0.4 = 0.091 m³ (Cubic Measurement)
To convert 0.091 m³ to a weight in kilograms: Multiply 0.091m3 x 250 (Cubic Conversion Rate) = 22.75 kg
