Poncet tracking platform
Any interest in a Poncet tracking platform, 12V stepper motor drive, runs for a good hour without reset.
Base is about 400 x 400, I'll post a couple of photos which shows it mounted with a Meade Comet seeker ( not for sale) on a wooden tripod ( not for sale).
Would be ideal for a smaller telescope or multiple camera support for wide field photographs.
PM me if interested.
