Omegon® Advanced 5” & 6” EQ-320
Thank you for choosing our “EQ-320” mount. Please read this manual carefully so that you can implement the
relatively simple handling without errors.
Omegon EQ-320 is a parallactic, or equatorial, telescope mount. Its advantage is that the system can be
aligned with the celestial pole and thus essentially only has to be adjusted in the right ascension (hour axis).
The first steps towards short-exposure astrophotography are therefore possible. This means that the Moon,
Jupiter and Saturn can be tracked. The mount sits on an extendable aluminium tripod and provides a very
stable support for smaller telescopes.
