Motorised controls increase the convenience of your observations by enabling your telescope to automatically "follow" the object you have set, after accurate polarisation. For photography, a mount with two motorised controls is simply indispensable.
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, by definition, only on the RA axis with 2x and 4x speed. Dual motor control is capable of 2x, 4x, and 8x speeds on both the RA and DEC axes. An important feature of the product is the possibility to switch between manual and motorised fine adjustment thanks to its clutch solution.
The control with ST-4 connector makes photography easier and has several additional features compared to the basic manual control: the possibility to track the sky beyond the star speed, at solar or lunar speed, 0.5x correction speed, but most importantly the ST-4 standard autoguider input, which allows the use of external guiding solutions.
The motorized controls can be operated from 4 goliath batteries, for which a separate small battery compartment is included in the box. Of course, an external 6V power source can also be used.
Attention! Please note that the single motor version cannot be upgraded with an additional motor, nor can the dual motor version be upgraded with a GoTo control.
