Complete RA drive motor system to fit the Mini-GEM telescope mount.

This great electronic drive system fits easily to the Mini-GEM and allows the telescope to automatically compensate for the rotation of the Earth - effectively locking the telescope on to the object being observed and freeing the observer from the need to constantly track the target by turning the RA slow-motion handle.

The drive allows time exposure astro-photography with 35mm and digital cameras. A camera can be attached to the Equatorial mounting and long exposure photographs taken (the exposure duration is somewhat dependent on how well the telescope is set up and polar aligned).

Kit includes:

RA drive motor unit (with North/South option)

Battery box with case (4 x D cells required - not included)
