Sky-Watcher EQ6 SynScan Upgrade Kit — Turn Your EQ6 into a Full Go-To Mount

The Sky-Watcher EQ6 SynScan Upgrade Kit transforms a standard EQ6 mount into a fully computerised Go-To equatorial system — giving you accurate tracking, automated slewing, and effortless navigation across thousands of celestial objects.

Whether you’re upgrading for visual astronomy or stepping into serious astrophotography, this kit adds the precision, control and convenience that modern observers rely on.

Designed specifically for the EQ6, every component integrates cleanly with the mount, delivering factory-grade performance with the benefit of Go-To technology.

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
