Are you annoyed that celestial bodies "move out" of the field of view of your telescope and it shakes when you touch it to bring it back into the field of view?! If so, the Clockworker provides a solution to this problem: it makes your time with the telescope even more comfortable by allowing your telescope to automatically "follow" the object you have set.
In addition to tracking stars (acting as a clockwork), stepping motors are also capable of corrective interventions on the corresponding axis. Single motor control is only available on the RA axis with 2x and 4x speeds, as appropriate. Dual motor control is capable of 2x, 4x, and 8x speeds on both the RA and DEC axes.
The control with ST-4 connector makes photography easier and has several additional features compared to the basic handheld control: the possibility to track the sky beyond the star speed, at Sun or Moon speed, 0.5x correction speed, but most importantly the ST-4 standard autoguider input, which allows the use of external guiding solutions.
The Celestron CG-4 watchmaker is compatible with the manufacturer's Omni CG-4 mechanism or SkyWatcher's EQ-3 mechanism.
The motorized controls can be operated from 4 goliath batteries, for which a small battery holder is included in the box (batteries are not included.) Of course, an external 6V power source can also be used.
Attention! Please note that the clockwork (single motor) version cannot be upgraded to a twin motor version, as the hand control is different!
