Sky-Watcher RA Motor for EQ5: Automatic Single-Axis Tracking
This RA drive motor allows your EQ5 mount to automatically track stars and planets. After polar alignment, the motor takes over the rotation: the object remains in view while you observe. For visual work on an EQ5 or NEQ-5, this is the simplest and most affordable motorization.
With the manual control, you can correct at 2x or 8x speed, for example to re-center an object. The motor runs on four D batteries and will last for many observation nights. Motor, manual control, and battery holder are included in the set.
Features
