Thanks for all the info.
Your posts made me realise two things..
1 I'll have to go to a stepper motor eventually and
2 I am way out of my depth and have bo idea about how to get one working. I dont know why it confuses me so much.. hence why I went for direct drive system.
Anyway, I purchased new speed controller and attached it to the motor to give me a larger dial and greater accuracy. it's working well, just need to do a proper test with it on a clear night.
Cut the motors battery wires and placed the new speed controller between the battery and motor. Also extended the wiring so I can adjust while standing and looking through eyepeice. Happy to upload photos if any ones interested.
Will also report back once field tested.
Cheers
Greg
