The Home Made Tracking Device For Wide Field Astrophotography

Hi Guys, the tracking device is finished and I thought I would show it off and where it will live when doing it's work.

As it happens, and this is a pure coincidence the wall it will be mounted on is actually pointing nearly 100% due Magnetic South, so that is very helpful, just a small tweak with the variation and we are set ready to fire it up.

Anyway the following photos will tell the story.

As promised shortly I will write a few words on how it was built and the Formula used to get it to this point.

Hope you like it.

Leon
