SkyWalker2 GOTO drive system is an extremely robust stepper motor system by Astrometric Instruments (
http://www.astrometric.com/). It includes
- hand paddle, cables and printed manual
- S-Box hardware for operation with the latest Maestro control software.
The latest firmware and software can be downloaded from the Web site. The drive system requires a laptop or computer (not supplied) for goto operations but, the hand paddle can operate the mount (slewing + multiple tracking rates) without a computer. It also requires a 12-volt battery or power supply (not supplied).
The equipment is in excellent condition (circa 2000). It has always been mounted on a permanent pier in an observatory. The tripod and semi-pier are unused.
