Description

The Sky-Watcher HEQ5 PRO Dual Saddle Go-To Mount represents the ultimate evolution of the EQ5 mount. With a mount head weight of 10 kg this professional mount is ideal to be carried anywhere in search of dark skies and solar eclipses. The integrated bubble level and the adjustable tripod legs make the levelling easy, the azimuth and altitude axis can be fine adjusted for a precise polar alignment. On top of that, the included polar scope included allows an extremely precise polar alignment that helps to drastically improve the quality of tracking, especially for astrophotography.

The exceptional SynScan Go-To system allows full control of both R.A. and Dec. axes with 9 slew speeds and 5 arcminute pointing precision, allowing you to quickly and accurately locate objects across the night sky. The Go-To system can automatically slew the telescope on command toward planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, clusters and much more. The SynScan has 42,900 memorised celestial objects for an amazing journey in the night sky. The Deep Sky Tour function suggests a list of the most interesting deep sky objects currently visible, so even the novice astronomer can easily observe faint objects at the touch of a button.

Wow @crt_astrophotography 😍

Carlos says:
Part 1 of a 2 part mosaic project on IC 2944 the Running Chicken Nebula one of my absolute favorites. I've chosen a starless version for the initial panel but will see how it goes for the final result.

The Clouds of Magellan from @aman_chokshi ❤

Aman says:
From the dark skies of the Southern hemisphere, our two closest galactic neighbours can be seen. The large and small magellanic clouds are surprisingly massive in the sky, and can often be confused with actual clouds ;)

Here, the magellanic clouds can be seen through an intense layer of green airglow.

For the photographers out there, this is a panorama with a 24mm lens, giving you some sense of how gigantic the galaxies are.
