Black Diamond 250mm reflector OTA on the EQ-6 PRO GOTO mount from Skywatcher.

Now we're not talking big,big bertha here, you can get a 12" and even a 16" reflector from us, but this guy at 250mm (10") is still considered a big scope. Awesome deep space viewing, sharp crisp festoons in Jupiter's cloud belts, if you want it, this guy can get you there!

Riding smooth and solid on the meaty EQ-6PRO GOTO mount (top of the range in Skywatcher's EQ mounts),what more could you ask for in a serious "do everything" telescope that you can still get into a car?

EQ-6PRO GOTO mount info:

Sky-Watcher Pro mounts have been designed for use by novices and experts alike. These mounts provide extremely high precision tracking and have built in autoguider ports. Even the most demanding experts will be impressed by the capability of these mounts for astrophotography.

For novice users the user-friendly menu allows automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The SynScan Hand Control also has the ability to connect to a computer via a RS-232 cable. Once the connection has been established between the computer and SynScan Hand Control, many commercially available planetarium software programs can be used to control the EQ6 PRO Mounts, They also come with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate:

• Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute. Accuracy enhanced by software collimation error (mount mechanical error) compensation.
• Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven.
• Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X).
• Auto Guider Interface for astro-photography.
• Guiding speed selectable from 0.25X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1X.
• Object database containing complete Messier, NGC, and IC catalogues.
• Minimal vibration for steady long-exposure photography.
• Periodic Error Correction.
• PC compatibility.
• Upgradeable hand control via internet download.
