Celestron Dual Axis Motor Drive for Advanced CG4, Black

Muy buen producto para motorizar el telescopio de la misma marca. Se puede llevar muy bien el seguimiento de los astros con lo que permite sacar buenas fotografías. Recomendable

I trying out to use the telescope upgrade with attach two peices celestron controls movement. That's great stuff!

I purchased these dual axis drives for my newly arrived Celestron Omni which rides a CG4 mount and tripod. They are quality brass and chrome pieces with no difficult requirements for attaching to the mount gears. Once in place and the batteries are turned on the RA drive tracks precisely even at a rough north alignment. Both drives respond quickly with minimal backlash and smooth movement when viewing through the eyepiece. The control box is the standard Celestron model provided with the older G5 and C5 series but it's a fine unit with N/S directional switch, 2x, 4x, 8x tracking speeds and with a bit of velcro sits nicely on the side of the tripod. Watch wrapping the phone cables when re-orienting from north to south, it would be great to have coiled cables with these but everything is quite functional.Good Viewing!

While it worked it was very good - held on target even at highest magnification. But after about 50 hours of use the box died and the stepper motors no longer working. I would rate this as very unreliable electronics! Buy a decent go-to-mount instead!

Product is fantastic. The only thing is you can't use the slow motion nobs anymore and the motors even a 8x speed are still very slow to try and find something.
