Mirror covers
Motors DC motor with planetary gearing
Controller ASA DC motor controller board
Feedback sensor potentiometer
The covers can also be moved by hand because of the integrated slip clutch that protects the gearing from
damage. The covers are equipped with counter weights, so the weight balance of the telescope does not change
regardless if the covers are open or closed.
Derotator (optional)
The derotator is a separate device mounted to one of the fork sides.
