New Skywatcher EQ7 Mount

[miki63au]

It would be perfect for my 12.5" DK Cass. A l'bit too much for the G11.

So, any info when will be available?

Cheers,
Mick.

I thought so too, but am probably biased!

Depends on the price but throw away the gearboxes and use harmonic drives driven by servos.

Or keep the high resolution encoders, throw away all gearing, and go direct drive.

Hi There,

I can confirm the EQ7 is definitely coming, New worm gears, improved PE , and designed specifically to improve on all aspects of the already great NEQ6pro.

The designers have been working on it for quite some time considering all attributes based around our photography.

Will keep you posted when i know more, i don't think Sky watcher will overprice these, they usually do pretty well pricing their other gear.
Personally I gotta say they look pretty darn good.

Kind Regards

Shane

An impressive lineup of gear that is being released.
These guys are really doing a good job of making new gear.
