The AZ-EQ6 is the ultimate multi-role mount, blending the popularity of an EQ mount with the convenience of an Alt-Az mount. With its heavy duty 44-pound payload capacity, the AZ-EQ6 can handle a large variety of optical systems for both imaging and visual applications. The mount is powered by two conventionally geared stepper motors in a belt drive configuration, giving the mount's motion smooth, quiet, and low backlash characteristics. Optical encoders on both axes enable Freedom Find™—Sky-Watcher's proprietary dual-encoder technology that lets you move the mount manually without losing GoTo alignment.
