The Sky-Watcher EQ8-RH Pro is identical in construction to the EQ8-R. An encoder on the RA axis enables astrophotography without guiding.
♦ The mount holds telescopes up to 50 kg
♦ V.5 manual control box - over 42,900 celestial objects in the database
♦ Internal cable routing
♦ Stronger couplings on the axles for more holding power
♦ Improved clamping screws on the Losmandy style saddle plate with higher clamping force
♦ Optimized positioning of the drive motors
♦ Belt drive in the declination axis for a smoother Operation
♦ High-end Renishaw encoder on the RA axis for astrophotography without autoguiding.
♦ Solid pier tripod or high-quality Berlebach wooden tripods optionally available
