EQ3-2 duel motor?


Recommended Posts

How easy is it to track objects from the moon to Deep space objects using the duel motor drive for the EQ3-2 mount? thinking of getting one after last nights attempts at manually tracking Saturn to capture with my SPC900

Thanks

With motors attached you simply don't do anything, the motor will amble along at the correct tracking rate as a default.

It may be drivable at 4x or 8x normal.

Don't think there is a selectable rate for the moon or saturn, they do not move a great deal different to normal sidereal so all you do is a small recentre every so often.

Remember that Saturn does do a retrograde cycle every so often.
