Fits my iOptron cube
I have a smart star cube-a mount and wanted to try using it in EQ mode to see if I could improve the alt-azimuth tracking error. I didn?t want to spend a lot of money because I don?t expect the improvement to be that much. Just looking for a way to try polar alignment with this mount. The shaft was cheap enough for this experiment and I was able to secure a counterweight I already had to the shaft (purchasing a counterweight would?ve made this too expensive for me). I haven?t tried this setup...
