WhiteShiva Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello,I've been looking at buying some motors for my Skywatcher EQ 2 mount. At first I thought only RA Motors were available, as from FLO , but then I saw some DEC Motors on the Rother Valley site. Do I need both for astrophotogrpahy? Does it depend if I am imaging a DSO or a planet?Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKB Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi, Although I'm new to this and only just started imaging. I have both motors on my EQ3/2 but honestly only use RA drive to track objects once properly polar aligned. The dec is used just to get the object in the frame correctly but I generally do that with the slo-mo controls.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Varley Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The only drives available for the EQ2 are RA drives. The links you have provided both point to the same product on both FLO and RVO sites.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
