Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Unboxing

After looking to upgrade my setup for astrophotography for a number of years, I decided to upgrade my mount to the Skywatcher AZ-EQ6. I purchased the mount from Bintel in Sydney yesterday and was very pleased with their advice and service.

The mount comes in two boxes - both which are double boxed and extremely well packaged.

The first box contains the tripod, counterweights and accessory/eyepiece tray.

The second box contains the AZ-EQ6 Mount, Syncan hand controller, secondard saddle (the primary is already attached to the mount), cables, counterweight extension, manuals and other bits & pieces.

Unboxing pictures attached.

Now I have the fun of assembling all the pieces and learning how to use an equatorial mount.
