Review on 🔭 Celestron AstroMaster Telescope Single Axis R/A Motor Drive by Phil Morales

Glad to get this motor. It was pretty easy to install. Note that when installing, if you need to replace the bracket, pay attention to the screws. The screws on the back of the device with the bracket are held in place by tiny studs. So if you unscrew it, the screws will fall off, so be careful. After I got everything set up, I went to see it. I hear the engine running, I double checked that everything is connected correctly. The motor does not turn. I tried changing direction from north to south to see if it would turn there, but it didn't. So I sent it back and am waiting for a new one. Hope this works. I will update after I receive it. Update: I got the new motor a few days later and it spins! Now I'm looking forward to trying it hopefully this weekend. I will update again if I can try. Update: I have the opportunity to try it. For starters it seems to be working. The biggest problem I've had trying to use it are objects lower in the sky, like Jupiter and Saturn on an early September night. You cannot use the engine. Disrupts the pipe. You can only use it if you are not polar aligned and you still can't track them. So I removed it and will not be using it. I should note that my PowerSeeker 127eq.
