This dual axis motor drive, with drive corrector capabilities, is designed for Celestron’s CG-5 mount. It precisely controls the telescope’s tracking speed during long, timed exposures of celestial objects, producing the best possible image sharpness. Precision drive correctors are a must for those with a serious interest in astrophotography or CCD imaging. Four speeds are available-1x (sidereal), 2x for guiding, 4x, and 8x for centering. These precision, state-of-the-art DC motor drives operate from 4 D-cell batteries (not included). The hand controller module is very compact and fits easily in the palm of your hand. Motors for both axes are included, along with brackets, clutches and hardware.
