Sky-Watcher offers simple solutions for users who would like to attach
their smaller telescope to a convenient computerized system but do not
wish to deal with the weight of the HEQ5 or EQ6 mount. The EQ3 SynScan
mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 Pros--
SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or
even tour the skies at the touch of a button.
The EQ3 SynScan mounts are the perfect instrument for novice
visual observers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and
in-depth knowledge of the night sky.
