”I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.
Use them and enjoy them.“
Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS

It features two flexible slow-motion cables, one for vertical and one for horizontal control. Accurately tracks distant moving objects with ease. This mounting is ideal for terrestrial observations but can also be used for basic astronomical viewing.
TABLETOP EQ1 EQUATORIAL MOUNT (with RA Motor Drive & Multi-Speed Hand controller)
This convenient mount possesses all the same features as a standard sized EQ1. The only difference being it is supplied with mini-sized, screw-in tripod legs offering the ultimate in portability for the mounting of short-tube small aperture telescopes or even a camera. The mount, which is only 13” high, can be used on any reasonably firm and level surface. Perfect for taking on days out and trips abroad. Supplied with D.C. single axis motor drive with multi-speed (2x/8x) hand controller, manual slow motion cable controls, counterweight & ¼”/20 threaded adaptor.
Can be fitted to any of our telescopes supplied with the EQ1 equatorial mount. Providessingle-speed (1x Sidereal)motor tracking of the R.A. axis. Battery-powered.

Can be fitted to any of our telescopes supplied with the EQ1 equatorial mount, provides multi-speed (1x/2x/4x) motor tracking of the R.A. Axis. Battery powered.
"A traditional motorised equatorial telescope mount may not be the easiest thing for the novice to master, but Sky-Watcher's SupaTrak system makes the process of tracking celestial objects as they move across the sky simple and intuitive. Combined with a complementary range of optical tube assemblies at an attractive price, the SupaTrak is a winning formula." Ade Ashford BSc
Supa-TrakTM HEAVY-DUTY MOTORISED ALT-AZIMUTH MOUNT & TRIPOD
Will accept Telescopes with Skywatcher/Vixen type dovetail bar.
“The new SupaTrak™ mount shares more than a passing resemblance to the Celestron SLT, but the somewhat quieter and heavier duty SupaTrak sports a more robust Vixen-style dovetail clamp…. I found that the SupaTrak was capable of following a celestial object at high magnifications for tens of minutes before slowly drifting out of the field of view, which is perfectly adequate for visual use or simple webcam imaging…. If you are looking for an intuitive and far less intimidating user experience than that offered by cheaper GoTo mounts, the SupaTrak is highly recommended as a versatile grab-and-go system.” Ade Ashford, www.scopetest.com
Ć¢ā‚¬Ā¯The SupaTrak mount is a lightweight mount, suitable for small telescopes; it is easy to assemble, align and use...A particularly strong point is the sturdiness of the mount...There is no excessive vibration...Controls and slew rate are excellent.Ć¢ā‚¬Å“

EQ5 SYNSCAN
“The first impressions of the assembly were of reassuring stability…The 3-star alignment is a great feature of the Go-To facility. Every time we set up, it accurately place the item we wanted in the field of view of our 25mm eyepiece. The more it was used, the easier is was to go straight to an object or star…The alignment process could not be simpler…In all, the alignment process works so well that you can be on a selected object and tracking it accurately within minutes…Overall the EQ5 SynScan gave a new lease of life to our smaller scope. It is easy to carry and it allowed us to give friends and neighbours a quick tour of the delights of the night skies.” BBC SKY AT NIGHT MAGAZINE
