The EQ8-Rh is an observatory-class equatorial mount equipped with a Renishaw incremental 11.8 million tick encoder on the RA axis, virtually eliminating periodic error and delivering precise guiding for capturing elusive deep-sky objects like wispy nebulae and faint galaxies. With all-metal precision construction, this mount delivers a staggering 110 pounds of payload capacity, includes an adjustable portable pier tripod, D-style dovetail saddle, two 22-pound counterweights, DC power cord, and built-in USB PC control. Designed as an observatory-class mount for PC Direct or even completely remote control, it can still be run by the tried-and-true SynScan V5 hand controller with a 42,000+ object database.
