This easy-to-install RA motor drive compensates for the\nEarth’s rotation, so the telescope tracks a star’s movement through the night\nsky from east to west. When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and\nthe RA drive is attached and running, the user need only make occasional\nadjustments in declination (Dec) to keep an object in the eyepiece for long\nperiods of time. The Celestron single-axis motor drive runs on a 9V battery,\nso there are no cords to get in the way. The drive can be used in either the\nNorthern or Southern Hemisphere. To change hemispheres (reverse the motor’s\ndirection), simply flip the North\/South (N\/S) switch on the face of the motor\ndrive. It is also simple to change the speed of the motor. A “Speed Rate\nRegulator” knob is located just under the power indicator, and can be turned\nin either direction to slow down or speed up the motor. Since solar system\nobjects like the Sun and, Moon move through the sky at different rates than\ndeep-sky objects do, this gives you the ability to match the motor’s speed to\nthe particular type of
