I was enjoying the Orionid Meteor shower and decided to take a wide angle shot to remember the evening. This is what I got.
You can put the EQ-2M Orion Electronic Telescope Drive System on a compatible Orion or Celestron equatorial mount and track celestial objects automatically. The hand controller has 2 speeds and a pause mode which make observing easier.
For easy one-handed tracking of celestial objects use the Orion EQ-2 Equatorial Telescope Mount. It is perfect for any small telescope or spotting scope and can accept an optional EQ-2M electronic drive for automatic tracking of objects.
