Enhanced Dual Axis Handset for EQ5 with autoguider input with motors
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.
More about the product
These sets not only provide clock drive but also can move the declination axis. After centering an object in the eyepiece it is very convinient to use the hand controller only to track the object or move the telescope slightly, for example when observing the Moon at high magnification. The dual axis drive also helps to keep an object centered while capturing lunar or planetary images.
The hand controller provides 2x, 8x and 16x speeds. Use 2x for fine tuning during photography and higher speeds to find/center objects. Mounting the kit is extremely simple. Requires 6V DC (battary holder included).
Note that to achieve proper tracking the mount needs to be polar aligned. A polarscope might help a lot to do it.

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.
