The Asterion EQ5 Drive Kit Pro is a high quality Stepper Motor based Go To upgrade for the Skywatcher EQ5 and similar mounts.

The basis of this upgrade is a pair of high precision Stepper Motors encased in a metal body which will attach to your EQ5 type of mount.

The EQ Star Go To system can be used stand alone or by connecting to a PC with the included cable or wirelessly via Smart Phone/Tablet running the Synscan Pro APP

The system will provide all the capabilities of a Go To Wireless system and is compatible with Sky Safari.

This drive upgrade is also ASCOM compliant and can be run on a PC using most of the popular Planetarium programs that support ASCOM. The included Autoguider port facilitates auto guided long exposure astrophotography.

The EQ Star system is compatible with a variety of platforms, drivers and the standard equipment provides a hand set control that allows comfortable control of the mount during visual observations or the setup process before astrophotography sessions.
