Sky-Watcher CQ40 mount drive

Single-Axis Drive with Controller for Sky-Watcher CG-4 (EQ3-2) Mounts

The SW-4309 single-axis drive with controller is designed for CG-4 (EQ3-2) telescope mounts to compensate for the rotation of the celestial sphere along the right ascension (RA) axis. It accurately tracks stars during long exposures, helping produce images that are as sharp as possible.

Key Advantages

• Compensation for celestial rotation along the right ascension axis.
• Accurate star tracking during long astrophotography exposures.
• Four operating speeds: 1x (sidereal rate), 2x for tracking, and 4x and 8x for centering.
• Powered by four R20 (D) batteries.
• Controller and mounting hardware included.

Product Description

This single-axis drive is designed for CG-4 (EQ3-2) telescope mounts. It compensates for the daily rotation of the celestial sphere along the right ascension axis, providing star tracking for observations and long-exposure astrophotography.

Four speeds are available: 1x — the sidereal rate for tracking, 2x — an increased tracking rate, and 4x and 8x for centering celestial objects.

The drive is powered by four R20 (D) batteries. The package includes the drive, controller, mount bracket, screws, and battery holder.
