Review on πŸ”­ Celestron AstroMaster Telescope Single Axis R/A Motor Drive by Scott Galloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap, loud and works!

This inexpensive little directional motor not only works, it also has a (very small) knob to adjust the driving speed. There are two mounts for different types of Celestron mounts. CG-2 and CG-3. But wait! Eat more! One of the brackets fits my Orion Min-EQ (EQ-1) bracket perfectly. I figured it out from the image in Revain and by searching the web. You don't get high-precision tracking for long exposures or long exposures (but how would I know?! Maybe you WILL!). However, this engine allows you to track a wider field of view through a telescope and wide-angle photography if you can set up your equatorial mount to coincide with the celestial poles. The engine is loud. But who cares?!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
