Dj do NOT put a pot on that motor drive, it is quarts controlled.
This DC motordrive is designed to fit all Bintel BT Deluxe German Equatorial Mounts and the gear is designed for those mounts only.
I dont know if you have the Bintel mount but for other mounts you could need a differrent gear.
Also if your polar alignment is not right, the stars will move out of view and it all depends on how well you are polar aligned, the better aligned the longer the object stays in view.
The speeds on the controller are only there to do small adjustments to keep an object in view, for example the moon (the moon has a differnt sidereal speed than the stars).
