Product Description

The Meade Polaris Electric RA Motor Drive attaches easily & directly to the Meade Polaris EQ telescopes 216001 through 216006. With the motor drive attached & turned on, the telescope can move at the sidereal rate to track any celestial object & keep it centered in the telescopic field. With the variable speed adjustment, you can quickly & easily change the tracking speed to track the moon, planets, or stars.

With the Polaris EQ mount properly aligned to the pole, (see telescope instruction manual) the motor drive will keep the object in the field of view for 10 to 20 minutes before re-centering is required. Compatible with both Northern Hemisphere & South Hemisphere operation. Direction of tracking is controlled via a convenient N/S switch on the motor housing. Once installed, the RA motor drive may be left permanently attached to the telescope.
