German equatorial mount that allows perfect alignment with the celestial pole and convenient RA tracking with only one axis
The Bresser EQ-3 is a German equatorial telescope mount that can be used universally for light to medium-weight telescope tubes with a net weight of up to 5 kg.
The only requirement for telescope tube mounting is a universal Vixen profile GP dovetail mounting bar - found on many commercially available telescope. This high-quality equatorial mount allows easy alignment to the celestial pole in no time and then allows tracking of all celestial objects manually with its single RA axis. Both RA and DEC axes come with manual slow motion control cables, for easy adjustment of your telescope's pointing. Also included is a sturdy, yet lightweight, aluminium field tripod, which can be individually adjusted in leg height to give you perfect stability, even on rough ground. The included 1.5 kg counterweight is used to adjust the balance between the telescope tube and the mount. Further counterweights can be supplied if needed.
NOTE: If you want automatic Right Ascension tracking of celestial targets, this telescope mount can be equipped with the optional motor set Art. 4951400.
