Hello all.
I built a 10" Dob and now I wish to drive it in RA. I have made a RA mount. The motor is a Synchron 24v 5 watt 60cycles. Made in USA. Trouble is I can not vary the speed.
I am puzzled. I have been reading the forums about stepper and DC motors. This has fried my brain.
Does a stepper motor have the same or better torque than the Synchron motor and can it operate from 0.5rpm to above 1rpm.
I have the Synchron motor driving a gearbox which drives two pulleys. Scope is mounted above the larger pulley.
The same question will apply to DC motors.
Thankyou.
