The Sky-Watcher EQ8-R Pro is a professional-grade German Equatorial Mount built for demanding astrophotographers and observatory installations. With a remarkable 110-pound payload capacity, it supports large OTAs, guiding systems, and imaging accessories without compromising stability or tracking precision.
This refined model integrates belt-driven stepper motors to minimize backlash, internal cable management for tangle-free slewing, and homing/limit sensors for enhanced remote operation safety. Featuring a belt-driven RA and DEC axis with dual encoders, the EQ8-R Pro delivers ultra-precise performance suited for long-exposure imaging and deep-sky astrophotography.
Designed for both field and permanent observatory use, the mount supports PC connectivity through USB, comes with a SynScan hand controller, and includes two massive 22-pound counterweights for perfect balancing. Whether you’re capturing galaxies or running robotic imaging sessions, the EQ8-R Pro is engineered for elite performance under the stars.
