## Overview

The Orion Atlas EQ-G is a premium computerized equatorial telescope mount designed for serious astronomers and astrophotographers. Supporting up to 40 lbs of equipment, it features a vast GoTo database of over 42,900 celestial objects, nine motorized slew speeds, and three tracking rates (sidereal, lunar, solar). Its robust construction includes a heavy-duty tripod, illuminated polar scope for easy alignment, and a CCD autoguider port for advanced imaging. Weighing 54 lbs (without counterweights), it requires an external 12V DC power source and delivers stable, precise tracking for both visual observation and long-exposure astrophotography.

## Description

This rock-solid GoTo Mount will provide night after night of stable support for your telescope while letting you enjoy precise object location and accurate motorized tracking. The stalwart Orion Atlas EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount can easily handle up to 40 lbs. of astronomy equipment. Its GoTo database of over 42,000 celestial objects can show you and your family spectacular celestial sights night after night, while internal DC stepper motors track selected target objects for relaxed observations. Astrophotographers love the Orion Atlas EQ-G Mount due to its precise tracking, affordable price, and robust load capacity, which all work together to provide the high accuracy required to capture detailed images of the night sky. Whether you're looking for a solid GoTo mount for visual use of a telescope, or you're gearing up for a rewarding astrophotography hobby, the Orion Atlas EQ-G GoTo Mount fits the bill with rugged elegance. The sturdy Atlas EQ-G Mount supports tube assemblies of up to 40 lbs. and boasts 2"-diameter stainless steel legs. The Atlas EQ-G will lead you and your telescope to a variety of celestial wonders on any clear night with its sophisticated GoTo system database of well over 42,000 objects. Once an object is centered, The Atlas EQ-G Mount's robust internal DC stepper motors track the object for comfortable extended views. The internal motors offer nine slew rates ranging from 2x to 800x sidereal and three tracking rates: sidereal, lunar, and solar. An included RS-232 interface cable, illuminated polar-axis scope, and 13" long "Vixen-style" narrow dovetail mounting plate round out the features of this impressive GoTo equatorial mount. Backlash compensation and programmable PEC provide the responsiveness for guiding and the tracking accuracy needed for astrophotography. There's also a jack for a CCD autoguider. Requires external 12-volt DC power source or AC-to-DC wall adapter. Weighs 54 lbs., not including counterweights.

Il s'agit d'un excellent produit qui va me permettre de poursuivre ma passion plus sérieusement. J'attends avec impatience les prochaines nuits étoilées !
Review: I've had the mount for 3 weeks and have been fortunate enough to use it quite a few times. I mounted an ED80T 80mm refractor with a Canon DSLR, autoguider camera on a 50mm guide scope, and plenty other lenses and filters. Everything works great and I am getting great pictures. Just beware, this is an advanced equatorial mount. You will need a clear view of Polaris to polar align this mount. Once you have Polaris aligned through the polar scope, you need to tell it your longitude, latitude, elevation, time and date. All this info can be found by using free cell phone apps so it's not that hard. Once you have that info, the scope will ask for 1, 2, or 3 star alignment. That's easy as long as you've told it the previous info. After that, it's a matter of selecting what you want to look at and boom. Done. For long exposure photos you will need an autoguider scope and camera, but this mount has an autoguider port. With an autoguider camera I've been able to take 5-6 minute exposures with no problem. These make for great photos. The Good: 1) Seriously heavy duty construction. This mount is heavy, which is great. Once planted in the ground, nothing is going to shake your camera. It can hold 40lbs but I wouldn't load it up that much. It will handle astrophotography equipment of at least 25-30lbs. 2) It's smart. Tell it where you are, and it knows what you can see. The GoTo function works great. I'm still learning about where to find things but I can tell it to point to M31 and it will move and track it through the sky. Amazing. 3) It looks great. Nice setup. The Bad: 1) I ordered the mount along with a few thousand dollars worth of telescope equipment. I received everything except for the Atlas mount. This mount ships in 2 separate boxes. One box contains the tripod, the other contains the EQ-G computerized mount. I only received the tripod box and signed for the shipment. I waited 5-6 days for desertcart to bring me the EQ-G mount before realizing they never actually sent it. BEWARE. This ships in 2 (two) separate boxes. desertcart has a bad reputation of only sending 1 box when it comes to telescope mounts. When you track your package, it should be in 2 boxes. After waiting 5 days, I contacted desertcart and they sent the missing box. It took over two weeks to get this mount when desertcart Prime told me it should have taken 3-5 days. Track your packages carefully or you may also be in the possession of $3000 worth of equipment that cant be put together. 2) Small steps. It's very, very heavy, even with a small scope attached. 100lbs. Fully assembled, use small steps carrying it to the back yard. Ouch. 3) No power supply cord included. You will not be able to run an extension cord out to the backyard to power the mount. That is sold separately. Not the extension cord, but the cord to plug it into a standard outlet. Sold separately. Conclusion: Excellent mount, heavy duty, sturdy, smart. Hard to setup for beginners, but great once it's polar aligned. I recommend it if you have the money and are looking to get started doing astrophotography. 5/5.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is a good solution to connecting a dslr to this with out a telescope? what parts would i need?**
A: I'm not sure but I believe Losmandy Astronomical Products (among others) has plates and simple adjustable adapters that fit this mount that would satisfy your needs with a simple solution.

**Q: Will this be able to hold the Orion 08296? The capacity of this mount is 40 lbs - does this limit include necessary counterweights?**
A: Yes, the 40 lb is the ota and accesories,  above and beyond the counter weights .. not sure on your OTA weight , but remember, the max weight is usually not optimal , and better to run under for sure

**Q: does it come with a Polar Alignment Scope?**
A: Yes. It is built into the center of the mount. The hemisphere shape you see on the right side is a screw cap that comes off and reveals the scope eye piece. The other side of the mount has a simple cap that comes off to expose the other side of the scope to the sky,

**Q: For 3 star alignment can I use stars other than the ones that the controller suggests?**
A: Although I have not used it myself, there is an option in the controller's menu to define your alignment stars. I think it's under utility (maybe setup--I don't have my controller with me). However, before doing that, make sure you've gone through all the options it will already give you. It's a pretty extensive list of options as is.

*by E***N on 9 September 2016*

Amazing device, can take a lot of weight... and tracks very well. Better than expected. A few gripes: The controller buttons are mushy, so it's easy to typo the info needed to setup. It really ought to have a battery backup for the clock. The polar scope had specs in it when I got it... Had to disassemble, carefully clean and re-assemble... I think my scope on cheapo $300 iOpteron camera motor is a much easier design to line up accurately. The rear ( scope eyepiece side ) latitude adjustment on mine is very hard to turn ( i'll probably grease it ). Some simple additions would make the experience much better... Like simple labels indicating what direction is lock on the clutches, what direction is the default aperture side, clearer marks for the home positions and the like. Its mechanically great, but they really ought to update and refine the design.
