Stargazing should be about wonder, not frustration. With the Celestron AstroMaster/PowerSeeker Motor Drive, you can finally enjoy extended observation sessions without constantly adjusting your telescope. This clever device compensates for Earth's rotation, automatically tracking celestial objects as they move across the sky. Imagine watching Jupiter's moons dance or following a comet's journey—all while comfortably seated, making only minor adjustments when needed.
Installation takes just minutes—no tools required. Simply attach the motor drive to your Celestron AstroMaster or PowerSeeker equatorial telescope (or any telescope using a CG-2 or CG-3 mount), align it properly, and you're ready to explore the cosmos. The battery-powered design means no tangled cords to trip over or outlets to find, giving you complete freedom to set up wherever the night sky clearest.
This motor drive isn't just about basic tracking—it's designed for versatility. The speed rate regulator knob lets you fine-tune the motor's speed to match different celestial objects. Solar system objects like planets and the moon move differently than deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae, so having adjustable speed means you can follow each with precision. The North/South hemisphere switch makes this drive perfect for astronomers anywhere in the world—just flip it to match your location and you're ready to go.
Whether you're a beginner just learning the constellations or an experienced astronomer capturing detailed astrophotography, this motor drive enhances your experience. Long exposure photography becomes possible as the drive maintains perfect alignment, and visual observers can finally relax and truly enjoy the view instead of fighting against Earth's rotation. The 9V battery provides hours of continuous operation, making it perfect for marathon stargazing sessions under dark skies.
Transform your telescope from a manual pointing device into an automated tracking system that follows the cosmos with precision. The Celestron Motor Drive isn't just an accessory—it's your ticket to more immersive, longer, and more rewarding astronomical adventures.
