On-Axis Renishaw Encoders

Thanks to the on-axis Renishaw encoders functioning at an incremental 11.8 million ticks, all periodic error is essentially eliminated, making for a mount that monitors itself almost perfectly. This is why the Sky-Watcher EQ8-Rh Pro is one of the best remote astrophotography mounts.

Heavy-Duty Load Capacity

The Sky-Watcher EQ8-Rh Pro mount is an all-metal mount crafted to support extreme telescope setups with heavy customization. This stable design is perfect to hold any of Sky-Watcher’s largest telescope OTAs and most other brand scopes as well.

Dual-Belt Drive Design

Belt drives already minimize the backlash that’s common in telescope astrophotography mounts, and with a belt drive on each axis, your periodic error will be minimal and easily accounted for. This belt system also ensures a more accurate tracking procedure than other equatorial mounts.

Integrated Cable Management

Never again will you need to worry about your cables getting caught up in your system, nor will you have any trouble knowing exactly how everything is laid out! With USB 3.0, power ports, and serial ports built in, cable drag is a thing of the past. Perfect your remote astrophotography sysastrophotography mountstem using the EQ8-Rh Pro.
