Enhance your stargazing experience with the Celestron Motor Drive, specifically designed for AstroMaster and PowerSeeker telescopes equipped with Celestron CG-2 or CG-3 equatorial mounts. This motor drive is an essential accessory for anyone looking to track celestial objects with ease. It compensates for Earth's rotation by providing right ascension (RA) tracking, smoothly following the movement of stars across the night sky from east to west.

The installation of this motor drive is straightforward, transforming your telescope into a more efficient tool for astronomical observations. Once your telescope mount is polar aligned and the RA drive is operational, you'll find that tracking objects requires only occasional adjustments in declination (Dec), allowing for extended periods of observation with minimal effort.

The Celestron single-axis motor drive operates on a 9V battery, ensuring a cord-free setup and enhancing portability and convenience. It's designed to work seamlessly in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Switching between hemispheres is as simple as flipping the North/South (N/S) switch on the motor drive, reversing the motor's direction as needed.

Additionally, the drive features a "Speed Rate Regulator" knob, located beneath the power indicator. This allows you to easily adjust the motor's speed to suit your observational needs, whether you're tracking the faster movement of solar system objects like the Sun and Moon, or the more gradual motion of deep-sky objects.

With the Celestron Motor Drive for AstroMaster and PowerSeeker telescopes, you're equipped to embark on a seamless and more engaging exploration of the night sky.
