The EQM35 mount is ideal for astronomers taking the next steps in visual observing and astrophotography.

This high precision, easy to use Goto tracking mount will allow more seasoned users to appreciate extra load carrying capacity for visual use and ability to convert into a DSLR mount.

The included SynScan Wi-Fi dongle allows for wireless control through the SynScan Pro app for Apple, Android, or Windows devices. The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900+ objects after a simple two-star alignment procedure is performed. A hand controller (sold separately) can also be used.

NOTE: The WIFI EQ35 model excludes the hand controller, control is only via the WiFi / APP.
