This mount has a weight limit of 44 pounds. I've seen people use this mount with 8" class Newtonians, but that is about as big as I would suggest. **Q: I just want to confirm... this is the eq6-r pro, not the older version, correct?** A: Correct. **Q: Is this mount identical to the atlas pro? can you move the head around by hand and the computer keeps up with where it is like the atlas?** A: No it is not. The Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 Pro would be the equivalent of the Atlas Pro with the encoders needed to move telescope by hand and the computer would keep in sync with manual movement, just like the Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G did. **Q: What's included, tripod? head? couter weights? camera cable?hand controller?** A: Well, the exact opposite just happened to me - received the head but no tripod. Going through the refund. Maybe we can all meet up somewhere and put together a complete mount. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sky-Watcher EQ6-R – Fully Computerized GoTo German Equatorial Telescope Mount – Belt-driven, Motorized, Computerized Hand Controller with 42,900+ Celestial Object Database - FT232RL USB to RJ45 Serial Converter Control Cable for Skywatcher Telescope EQ6-R AZEQ6 AZEQ5 - Schumacher Electric AC to DC Power Converter, PC-6, 70 Continuous Watts, 140 Peak Watts, 12 Volt DC Accessory Port, Plugs into Household AC Outlets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/53081823-eq6-r-pro](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/53081823-eq6-r-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
