Transform your astronomical experience with the Celestron Motor Drive, DA for CG-4 mounts, an essential tool for enthusiasts looking to delve into astrophotography. This dual-axis motor drive is specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of telescopes equipped with Celestron's CG-4 equatorial mounts, offering precise tracking of celestial objects as they move across the sky.
The motor drive features dual-axis drive motors, enabling your telescope to smoothly track stars and other celestial bodies. This tracking ability is crucial for both detailed visual observations and astrophotography, keeping your subject steadily in view. The included three-speed drive corrector provides the flexibility to make fine adjustments in all four directions, ensuring your target remains centered and in sharp focus.
This motor drive is versatile and user-friendly, suitable for use in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The direction of the motors can be easily switched by toggling the “N/Off/S” switch on the drive corrector hand controller, accommodating observers located anywhere on the globe.
Powered by four D-cell batteries (not included), the Celestron DA Motor Drive offers a self-contained and portable power solution. It's important to note that this motor drive requires a 6 Volt input and is not compatible with a 12 Volt power source, such as the Celestron PowerTank or a 12 Volt AC adapter.
The drive corrector hand controller allows for varied speeds, with settings marked “2x/4x/8x.” The 2x speed is ideal for guiding during astrophotography, 4x for centering objects in the eyepiece, and 8x for quickly locating and centering objects in both the finderscope and eyepiece.
Included in this comprehensive package are the RA and Dec motors, a clutch, mounting brackets and hardware, the drive corrector hand controller, and a power pack. With the Celestron Motor Drive, DA for CG-4 mounts, you're well-equipped to elevate your observational and astrophotographic pursuits to new heights.
