RA drive for CG5

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Just looking to get an RA drive for a CG5 mount. Hoping to try some photography soon, so a motor might be handy!

Any ideas which would be the best bet? 

I've found one on Ebay, but not sure about it.......it's here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Single-Axis-D-C-Motor-Drive-for-EQ5-CG5-/251365735448?pt=UK_Telescope_Mounts&hash=item3a8690bc18

I've a C8 Newtonian mounted on the CG5.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Alan

I would go for the twin drive , telescope house has them at 92 , you could then fit a shoestring st4 socket for guiding. The single motor you link to would be fine for visual tracking and some shorter exposure astrophotos.
