Orion 9995 Sirius EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount

Description

Less hefty than the Atlas, but with the same drive motors, electronic features, and functionality, the Sirius EQ-G supports up to a 30-lb. load for all your visual or astrophotographic applications. It accepts either a GoTo or a dual-axis (non-GoTo) hand controller, depending on your needs. With the GoTo option, the Sirius EQ-G makes a terrific upgrade into the high-tech realm of effortless, electronic object acquisition! Select from among 42,900 celestial objects using the intuitive menus on the hand controller, or take a tour of the finest celestial showpieces. The internal dual-axis stepper motors slew your telescope at up to 3.4-deg per second. Includes an illuminated polar-axis scope, 8.3″ dovetail mounting bar, and one 11-lb. counterweight. The tripod is remarkably sturdy, as evidenced by the 1.75″-diameter stainless steel legs and cast-metal spreader plate
