It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The SynScan™ Computer includes a massive 42,900+ night sky objects in its extensive database.

The EQ3 PRO SynScanTM mount is a perfect instrument for novice visual observers and imagers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and in-depth knowledge of the night sky.
