MOTOR DRIVES
To allow automatic tracking of celestial objects, Celestron offers several motor drives. All models include a hand controller, which makes observing more fun as it makes centering objects much easier. In addition, the hand controller can be used as a drive corrector for long exposure celestial photography.
Economy Models
These models are single axis (R.A.), DC motor drives. They are powered by four D-cell batteries (not included). 2x and 4x sidereal speeds are available through the included hand controller.

Deluxe Model — Polaris Motor Drive System – #93820-C


  Price  $395.00		 This dual axis motor drive, with drive corrector capabilities, is designed for Celestron’s CG-5 and GP mounts. It precisely controls the telescope’s tracking speed during long, timed exposures of celestial objects, producing the best possible image sharpness. Precision drive correctors are a must for those with a serious interest in astrophotography or CCD imaging. Three speeds are available — (1x) sidereal, 1.3x for guiding and 6x for centering.
This precision, state-of-the-art DC motor drive operates on a 9 volt battery (not included). The hand controller module is very compact and fits easily in the palm of your hand. Motors for both axes are included, along with brackets, clutches and hardware. Made in the USA.

 

Declination Motors
Celestron’s Declination Motor attaches to your telescope’s manual declination control to offer smooth, vibration-free control in declination. Run by the telescope’s power supply, it plugs directly into the drive base and is controlled by two buttons, for north and south declination movement. Highly useful for observing, and a must for astrophotography.
