The standard hand controllers of the EQ5 mounts with dual-ax drives (non-GoTo versions) do not contain autoguider port, however with some caution these mounts could be used for entry level deep sky astrophotography as well. The SkyWatcher AGHB (Auto-Guider-Hand-Box) hand controller solves these problems: the programmed corrections speeds are 0.5x-2x-16x sidereal speeds, powered from 6V, and an autoguider can be connected to the installed port.

Usage of a rechargeable power tank of adaptor is recommended instead of the standard battery pack.

Enhanced Dual Axis Handset for EQ5 with autoguider input with motors

Pros

Könnyen kezelhető, egyszerűen beszerelhető

Cons

A kábelek hidegben elég merevek. Lassúak a motorok

Summary

Pólusra állás után gyönyörűen teszi a dolgát. A kézivezérlő nagyon kínai hatást kelt érzetre, de stabilak a fizikai gombok rajta. Én azt hittem kicsit gyorsabb lesz a motor ha a kézivezérlővel "tekered". Kuplung ki, objektum keres, és kuplung vissza. A vezérlő csak apróbb korrekciókra való.
