I picked up a EQ6 Syntrek mount on Saturday...the difference between the standard EQ6 and Syntrek is the Syntrek has the Skyscan motors and a different basic hand controller as per link..it does not have the skyscan goto hand paddle in which they want to charge $600 extra for....but it does have the autoguide port...wahoo
Knowone could tell me if this mount can autoguide with out the Skyscan controller not even the Tasco reps so I dedcided to test it myself...THE MOUNT AUTOGUIDES which is awesome...so now you can get this mount with the better Skyscan motors and the autoguide port for just a couple of hundred dollars more then the standard EQ6...this is perfect for my needs for widefield imaging.
The syntrek mount can slew up to 800X and has basic feature's superior to the Standard EQ6.
So if anyone is intersted in this mount I hope I have answered some questions because TASCO dont know their product.
