This document is an instruction manual for the Bresser Goto-Kit for equatorial EQ-5 Mounts, identified by Art.-Nr. 49-51750. It details the assembly, operation, and maintenance of the telescope mount and its associated handbox control system.
The Bresser Goto-Kit is designed to enhance equatorial EQ-5 mounts by providing automated tracking and Go-To capabilities for astronomical observation. The system comprises a mount, a handbox, and motor drive systems for both Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.) axes.
The mount features several key components:
The handbox (Fig. 2) is the primary interface for controlling the telescope.
The manual also includes sections on finding the polar star, distances in space, and possible observation targets (Moon, Orion Nebula, Ring Nebula, Dumbbell Nebula), providing guidance for astronomical exploration with the Bresser Goto-Kit.
