Lightweight Portability, Redefined

The EQ-AL55i Pro is the perfect entry to intermediate level equatorial platform for observers and imagers looking to build a serious rig without breaking the bank.  

Redesigned from the popular EQM-35 the EQ-AL55i features fully encased motor housings and two positions for the counterweight bar and optional pier extension making this mount the perfect choice for observers and imagers in lower latitudes.

Featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth SynScan, and ASCOM telescope control, 22-pound payload capacity, a guidescope and SNAP port, the EQ-AL55i is a perfect choice for a mid-size imaging mount.
