Once the motor is connected, it compensates for the earth's rotation so you can continue to observe in a relaxed manner. This is ideal for viewing the moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tracking motor is easy to mount and immediately suitable for use on a variety of entry-level and mid-range telescopes. With the included hand controller, you easily choose between two speeds (2x or 8x) for precise centering of objects. A pause button helps with precise positioning in the field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the switch for northern or southern hemisphere, the motor can be used worldwide. Operation is easy, even with gloves on during cold nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Compatibility<\/strong><br>Suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Omegon N 76\/900 EQ-2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Omegon N 150\/750 EQ-3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zoomion Gravity 150 EQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zoomion Voyager 76 EQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seben Big Boss 150\/1400 EQ3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seben Star Sheriff 114\/1000 EQ3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seben 76\/900 reflector<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seben 76-900 EQ2 with smartphone adapter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What's included<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RA tracking motor for EQ-2 and EQ-3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand controller<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cable with battery holder (6x D batteries, not included)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Observation goals<\/strong><br>This tracking motor is ideal for visual observations where you want to look at an object for long periods of time without constantly adjusting.
