The Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6GT is a dual purpose, fully functional computerized heavy-duty mount with Go-To / tracking that works in both Alt-Azimuth (AZ) and Equatorial (EQ) modes.
Features patented dual-encoder technology. This enables the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without it losing positional information. This provides freedom, convenience and flexibility during observational sessions.
In EQ mode, the AZ-EQ6GT is designed for either visual use or precise astro-imaging.
In AZ mode, it is primarily intended for visual use, and in this mode, two telescopes can be mounted simultaneously in parallel.
