Telescoop Sky-Watcher SynScan Kit EQM-35 GoTo-systeem montering inclusief

Sky-Watcher SynScan Kit EQM-35 GoTo System mount included is a telescope mounting solution that pairs the EQM-35 equatorial mount with the SynScan computerized GoTo controller. The kit is intended to support compatible optical tubes and provides motorized right ascension and declination drives with a polar-aligned equatorial geometry to follow celestial motion. It is designed for observational astronomy, basic astrophotography with modest payloads, and instructional use where automated object locating and tracking are required.

Advantages

The integrated SynScan GoTo controller enables automatic slewing to thousands of catalogued objects, reducing setup time and simplifying target acquisition. The EQM-35 mount offers stable equatorial tracking with adjustable counterweight balance for improved tracking accuracy. The mount’s motorized drives and periodic error characteristics are suitable for short- to medium-exposure imaging when combined with a properly balanced and guided optical tube. The compact form factor and standard dovetail saddle make the system compatible with many small to medium refractors and reflectors.

How to use

Assemble the EQM-35 mount on a stable tripod, attach counterweights and a compatible optical tube using the dovetail saddle, and level the mount. Perform a rough polar alignment using a polar scope or alignment routine, then power the SynScan controller and enter location, time, and alignment stars as prompted by the setup procedure. Use the hand controller to select targets from the database or input coordinates; initiate automatic slewing to the chosen object. For tracking, engage the motor drives and, if performing astrophotography, ensure the telescope is well balanced and consider using autoguiding for longer exposures.

Recommendations

For optimal tracking and imaging results, perform a careful balance of the optical tube on both axes, complete a precise polar alignment, and allow the mount to settle after slewing before starting exposures. Use appropriate power supply rated for continuous motor operation and follow the SynScan alignment routine to improve GoTo accuracy. When attempting longer exposures, pair the mount with a lightweight guide scope and autoguider to reduce periodic error effects.
