SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro SynScan Goto Equatorial Mount

This is the new NEQ6-R PRO mount which has an improved altitude adjustment knob, a belt drive, and a handle for carrying the rather hefty head unit, making use in the field much easier. Until now, these features were addressed with aftermarket modifications to the Standard NEQ6 PRO which could be quite expensive, so the "R" is the next step up. This makes the EQ6-R PRO SynScan good value mount to consider with a reasonable carrying capacity and accuracy, while still remaining affordable.
