Powerful reflector telescope: The Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD telescope is a powerful reflector telescope for astronomy beginners. It features fully-coated glass optics, a sturdy and lightweight frame, two eyepieces, a StarPointer red dot finderscope and an adjustable tripod.

High-quality 130mm optics: The heart of the system is a 130mm glass optic objective lens. The AstroMaster mount features two slow-motion control knobs that allow you to make precision adjustments.

Quick setup & lightweight frame: This telescope for kids and adults to be used together features a lightweight frame manual German Equatorial mount for smooth and accurate pointing. Setup is quick and easy, with no tools required for assembly.

Included accessories: We’ve included two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), a travel tripod, motor drive, and a StarPointer red dot finderscope. Accessories also include a FREE download of one of the top consumer rated astronomy software programs.

Unbeatable customer support: Buy with confidence from the world’s telescope brand, based in California since 1960. You’ll also receive unlimited access to technical support from our team of US-based experts.

Attach this handy motor Drive to the Orion eq-1c Equatorial mount for motorized, hands-free tracking of celestial objects

Provides Regulated sidereal-rate tracking in right ascension

Compensates for earth's rotation to keep any celestial target centered for extended viewing

Includes clutch release in case manual right ascension adjustments are desired

Fits Orion eq-1c Equatorial telescope mounts. Runs on Four AA batteries (not included)

This is a commonly used DC motor drive module, using a small current 293 chip DC motor driver chip.

Using this chip you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 10 Volts, that some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel.

Tested compatible for Arduino Mega, Diecimila & Duemilanove.

2 interface for 5V Servo connected to the Arduino's high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter.

Multi-function, easy to operate, a strong driver library support and feature updates.
