Home Accessories SkyWatcher Accessories SkyWatcher EQ5 RA Motor Drive
SkyWatcher EQ5 RA Motor Drive to keep objects tracked accurately in your telescope equppied with an EQ5 equatorial mount, especially useful for astro photography where sidereal tracking is essential.
Provides multi-speed (1x/2x/8x) motor tracking of the R.A. axis. Battery-powered (user supplied).
Easy to fit and well made. It Seems very well made. The drive cogs mesh precisely, and all fits nicely under the cover. Fitting time is about 10-20 minutes. Have tried running it through the different speeds but doubt it will be clear enough to test it tonight by the look of things! (24/01/2022) Peter Power - Poole, Dorset UK.
Great for visual use I find the RA motor to be very good for keep objects in the field of view while observing visually and it also allows images of up to about 2 minutes per time at prime focus with my 150 mm (750 mm focal length) reflector without significant trailing (the supplied handset doesn't have a ST4 input).
