Advanced Polaris Mount DEC Motor Module

The declination motor module is simply exchanged for the manual fine control module and the declination axis of the Advanced Polaris is motorised. Power is supplied wirelessly through the mount, so no tangled cables or loops to get stuck. You can then control the motor with the Starbook One handbox. This control is part of the Vixen Mount Advanced Polaris AP-SM Starbook One or the retrofit kit for the right ascension axis: Vixen RA motor with Star Book One controller.

The declination motor is typical Vixen quality: stepper motor with two ball bearings, worm wheel with 144 teeth and worm made of brass with a diameter of 11 millimetres.
