The system is included in the supplied WiFi module or via the optional SK-HAN5 hand controller.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA new feature for PPEC: the AZ EQ6 Synscan is equipped with an index on the RA worm gear that allows the mount to always keep track of the current index position on the worm. This means that the user can start the PEC at any time, after the first recording, in order to improve tracking accuracy in astrophotography. If polar alignment has been performed accurately, there is no need to repeat the PEC procedure for the next astrophotography session, thus obtaining a PPEC (Permanent Periodic Error Correction). The PEC routine can be performed either manually or conveniently using autoguiding. It is important, if you want to keep the PEC for subsequent sessions, to avoid unlocking the mount's axes when it is powered off; in this case, it is useful to park the mount from the utility menu, turn off the mount, and dismantle it, being careful to leave the axes locked. Further details can be found in the instruction manual, or contact us, and we will answer all your questions!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eControlling 1 or 2 DSLRs: the Sky-Watcher AZ EQ6 Synscan is equipped with 2 ports to control up to 2 DSLRs. Included are 2 cables for Canon reflex cameras, compatible with models such as the 600D (jack connection for remote shutter). If you need cables for other models, please contact us.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntermediate belt drive: the AZ EQ6 Synscan features an intermediate belt drive (like the AZ EQ5 GT) to achieve greater tracking precision, as well as lower periodic error and backlash.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMains power supply \u003cem\u003eAU18772\u003c\/em\u003e recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e FEATURES Type:\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-top:30px;\"\u003eMain features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkywatcher quality for a reliable and rewarding observation experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eType: Without Absolute Encoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMount type: Equatorial and Alt-azimuth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLoad capacity: Up to 20 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTracking system: With GoTo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEncoder system: Without Absolute Encoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Wi-Fi: NO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-top:30px;\"\u003eMain technical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eSkywatcher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eSkywatcher AZ-EQ6 Synscan Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eGerman Equatorial Mounts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eWithout Absolute Encoders\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eMount type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eEquatorial and Alt-azimuth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eLoad capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eUp to 20 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eTracking system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eWith GoTo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eEncoder system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eWithout Absolute Encoders\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eIntegrated Wi-Fi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eNO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#f0f8ff;padding:15px;margin-top:30px;border-left:4px solid #007acc;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake advantage of free shipping throughout Italy for orders over €199.99!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Skywatcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51120900047064,"sku":"SK-AZ-EQ6","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0722\/6072\/files\/92c7f700914f2e9da8b305a8433e6c5d.jpg?v=1764073841","url":"https:\/\/www.giordanoastronomia.it\/en\/products\/skywatcher-montatura-az-eq6-synscan","provider":"Giordano Astronomia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
