It is important to get a smooth movement in both axis. This way you may easily follow a star or a planet inside the field of view. Here we test the smoothness of these movements.

As recommended by Sir Patrick Moore! Anyone who has read the great astronomy books by Sir Patrick or watched the Sky at Night will know that he often recommends a good quality 3″ or 75mm refractor as a minimum ideal astronomy instrument. The Meade 80 is a 80mm (or 3.25″ – in old money) refractor so the Meade 2080 generously exceeds Sir Patrick’s advice.

http://shop.telescope-warehouse.com/product.sc?categoryId=1&productId=119
–$195 free shipping (in the continental U.S.) for the Motor Head, #494 Controller, Tripod, AND L-BRACKET!!

Email Bill to make arrangements for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: scopehed@frontiernet.net (Please let him know that MILAPSE sent you):

I’ll get the bracket design up soon… It’s quite simple though! Here are the measurements: 3.5″ x 9.5″ x 1/8″ aluminum plate, 90 degree bend at about 3.5″, the hole pattern is 4 X 1-1/16″ O.C. (3/16″ dia). The 1/4″ holes to receive the camera mount depends on the camera tripod grommet position. If you had the plate bent you could tap the holes with a home shop drill. If you take the head and your camera to a metal shop it should only take them 5-10 minutes to fabricate something.

If you want to learn more about the controllers here are the manuals:
