The Skywatcher AL-EQ55 Mount 

The EQ-AL55i Pro is the perfect entry to intermediate level equatorial platform for observers and imagers looking to build a serious rig without breaking the bank.  

Redesigned from the popular EQM-35 the EQ-AL55i features fully encased motor housings and two positions for the counterweight bar and optional pier extension making this mount the perfect choice for observers and imagers in lower latitudes.

Featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth SynScan, and ASCOM telescope control, 22-pound payload capacity, a guidescope and SNAP port, the EQ-AL55i is a perfect choice for a mid-size imaging mount.

This versatile mount is equipped with a two-position adjustable counterweight bar, allowing it to be used at all latitudes from 0° to 90° and thus avoiding the problems that arise with most other mounts at extreme polar altitudes. It is therefore an ideal travelling mount!

The EQ-AL55i is fully controlled with a smartphone via the built-in WLAN module and the free SynScan Pro app software. This app is available for iOS and Android.The EQ-AL55i Pro mount is equipped with an illuminated polar finder scope for precise alignment to the celestial pole.

It offers connections for USB-C, autoguider and an optionally available SynScan hand control box. It also has a socket for triggering a DSLR camera.

The EQ-AL55i Pro is a very portable mount for mobile astrophotographers, but also for visual observers.

  • Mount type: Equatorial with Go-To
  • Load capacity: 10kg
  • Slew speed: Up to 4° per second
  • Power input: 12V DC
  • Autoguider port: ST4
  • Protocols: SynScan, ASCOM via Wi-Fi or USB
  • Weight: 14.8kg

The Skywatcher Quattro 6"  f/4 Newtonian

The Quattro imaging Newtonian is an affordable, large aperture astrograph, ideal for users searching for a fast-imaging system that will work for both astrophotography and visual astronomy. Boasting a swift f/4 focal ratio, this astrograph can produce an exposure 6x faster than the average 8-inch f/10 Schmidt Cassegrain telescope (or 8.4x faster with the included coma corrector/reducer). Although designed as an imaging optical tube, these Newtonians also produce bright and detailed viewing for visual astronomy.
 
Like all Sky-Watcher reflectors, the Quattro Imaging Newtonian features borosilicate mirrors coated with Sky-Watcher’s proprietary Radiant ™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) coatings, producing 94% reflectivity. The tube is constructed with rolled steel, then coated with Sky-Watcher’s signature glossy metal-flake Black Diamond finish. The OTA uses an oversized secondary mirror providing greater illumination for DSLRs and CCDs using full-frame sensors, and an included coma corrector/reducer for those who want to take their imaging to the next level.
 
Included with the Quattro Newtonian is a 11:1 dual-speed 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, 1.25 and 2-inch eyepiece adapters, a 6x30 finderscope, tube rings, V-style dovetail plate, a 70° Ultra Wide 22mm eyepiece, and coma corrector/reducer.
