Eq1 RA Motor drive speed controller mod help
Hi everyone,
I have a DIY eq platform for my 10" dobsonian and the number one issue I have is getting the tracking speed perfect. It is run by a celestron eq1 ra motor drive the kind that's run by a 9v battery and rebadged by several other brands including saxon.
The problem is constantly having to bed down to fiddle with the tiny thin adjuster and going back and forth between it being too fast and too slow.
So my idea was to add some sort of speed controler to the unit with a larger more accurate dial and wire it so I can hold it never having to look away from the eyepeice while drift aligning.
Im quite lost, Any one know if this can be done?
Kind regards,
Gregory Americanos
