Rated 4 out of 5

Good Product

Good solid product. Silent, smooth operation. Installation was easy although the instructions are somewhat sketchy. The added bulk of the motors causes some motion interference problems hence the 4 stars rather than 5 stars, but they are minor. Can't comment on battery life yet as I've only used it a couple of times.

About Celestron Dual Axis Motor Drive with Hand Controller for Advanced C5 S, C6 R, C8 S, C 9 1/4 S, C8 N, C10N (Non GT) and CG-5 Mounts.

This dual axis motor drive, with drive corrector capabilities, is designed for Celestron's CG-5 mount. It precisely controls the telescope's tracking speed during long, timed exposures of celestial objects, producing the best possible image sharpness. Precision drive correctors are a must for those with a serious interest in astrophotography or CCD imaging. Four speeds are available-1x (sidereal), 2x for guiding, 4x, and 8x for centering.

These precision, state-of-the-art DC motor drives operate from 4 D-cell batteries (not included). The hand controller module is very compact and fits easily in the palm of your hand. Motors for both axes are included, along with brackets, clutches and hardware.
