The EQ-2 mount: This equatorial mount already offers the ability to align optics precisely with the North Star. The correct polar height or geographical latitude can be set for any observation location. Fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes allow objects to be adjusted and tracked with precision, whilst counterweights ensure the optics are accurately balanced. Smaller telescopes sit stably and with minimal vibration on this mount. The aluminium tripod is extendable and height-adjustable, whilst a shelf provides space for eyepieces and other accessories. The second-smallest of the EQ mounts is extremely light, compact and fits into almost any travel bag. It is easy for any beginner to set up and can be used just as easily by children.
The EQ-2 mount is so designed that one can easily compensate for the rotation of the Earth while observing.
