Product description

In brief:

  • Stepper motors with belt drive for precise tracking
  • Hand controller with magnet for attachment
  • ST-4 autoguider connection

Suitable for Sky-Watcher EQ5, Celestron CG-5, Meade LXD, Vixen GP/GP-DX/GPD2, Orion SkyView, Bresser EXOS-2 and similar

With this kit, you can motorise your mount. You can perform fine movements using the motors. The motors then track the set object so that it remains centred in the eyepiece or camera sensor. Even the smallest movement of the telescope tube is now completely under control, and the observed object is tracked with high accuracy even at extreme magnifications.

High-precision stepper motors in metal housings are equipped with a belt drive. Using the hand control box, you can change the operating modes of the drives and control the mount without interrupting your observations.

Connecting a tracking camera to the controller via the ST-4 connection switches the system to automatic tracking mode. For astrophotography, you can use software such as Maxim DL, PHD2, etc. Together with the high accuracy of the drives, this allows you to enter a new level of astrophotography with long exposure times and large image series.
