True Track Dual Axis Drive

My Dual Axis Drive arrived today well packed in a sturdy box. There were very detailed instructions inside the box. It only took me about 1/2 hour to take off my mounting and install the drives. It was a straight forward procedure though it was easier to install the RA motor if you take off the rear latitude adjustment. Once you get that mastered then the Dec is even easier! On testing the drive I found that I did not tighten the drive motors up enough since the instructions say to be careful. After adjusting the motors by wrenching it down a bit more it seemed to solve the problem. Tighten it enough to prevent the motors from shifting but no tighter. I am also using a 6 volt power supply from an old telephone or toy,(Never get rid of a power supply!). I find that I much prefer this type of drive to the Goto mount. It is easier to set up and does not need any complicated alignments or procedures. Good product with outstanding service.

I am very pleased with the ease of installing the True Track drive. It has been cold here so I haven't had an opportunity to try it outside yet. However I did set the scope up inside through a window and it tracked beautifully. I chose the True Track rather than the Go To because I find locating items in the sky is half the enjoyment of viewing.
Favorite viewing location:??Backyard
Favorite object to observe:??Of course Saturn and many galaxies/nebulae.
Pros: great quality
Cons: none
Yes, I recommend this product!

I have used this for about 5 months. It turned out to be not too bad for following reasons. 1. It does what it supposed to do fairly accurately. 2. Installation was not too difficult(about 1-2 hours). 3. Battery current consumption was not too exessive,it last 4-5 months with once a week(2-3 hours) usage. 4. However, I suspect clutch durability, it slips sometimes if not tightened all the way. Overall performance is ok. Had I known before I had bought this, yes I would have bought this.
