The NEQ3 SynScan mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 Pros-SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The NEQ3 SynScan mounts are the perfect instrument for novice visual observers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and in-depth knowledge of the night sky.
The telescope is optically very good, giving clear, sharp images. Both the NEQ3 and EQ5 SynScan are excellent mounts; pleasingly firm, with little vibration and easily set up. Tracking is also very satisfactory.
