Telescopes & Astronomy

The HEQ5 GOTO mounts are the perfect entry level computerised GOTO mount for beginners as well as experienced astronomers. The HEQ5 provides extremely high precision tracking and have built in autoguider ports.

This heavy-duty HEQ5 Pro mount has a maximun rated payload capcity of 13.7 kg and is a smaller version of the venerable and sturdy EQ6 Pro and NEQ6 Pro mounts. The HEQ5 Pro is specially designed for observers wanting to step into astro imaging but may find the EQ6 mounts a bit too heavy. 

The HEQ5 pro comes with a 3 year limited warranty.

You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 200DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 200mm and focal length of 1000mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

• Air-spaced triplet optical design
• Japanese made Hoya FCD100 optics
• Advanced chromatic aberration correction
• ED glass
• EMD enhanced multi-layer deposition
• Dual-speed focuser

Designed to be used with the saxon 127mm Apochromatic FCD100 Air-Spaced ED Triplet Refractor Telescope for astrophotography.

The saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets will reduce the focal ratio of the saxon127mm FCD100 Refractor Telescope from F/7.5 to F/5.25, providing a wider field of view, brighter images, and shorter exposure times. 

No saxon FCD100 telescope astrophotgraphy setup is complete without the saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets.

• 200mm aperture
• 1000mm focal length (F/5.0)
• 2" Dual Speed 10:1 focuser
• Easy-to-control heavy-duty mount
• Adjustable steel tripod with an accessory tray
• Fine adjustments of latitude and azimuth for precise polar alignment
• Bubble level for perfect levelling
• Aluminium setting circle dials allow for quick target acquisition via celestial coordinates
• Worm gear tracking controls provide full 360° manipulation of the RA and DEC axis
• Minimal vibrations

NOTE: This HEQ5 Pro mount comes with two 5.1 kg counterweights as standard.

With this optical tube installed the mount may require an addtional 5.1 kg counterweight to balance this set up, depending on what is placed on the OTA.
