[. . . ] This provides an easy way to center objects in the eyepiece, and also allows for advanced astrophotography with the EQ-3 mount. motor drive assembly 1 Hand controller 1 Battery pack 1 4mm Allen wrench 1 2mm Allen wrench 2. slow-motion control cable should be mounted to the right end of the R. A. [. . . ] If you want to use it, first loosen the setscrew on the end of the coupler to disengage the motor drive. The motor is now properly installed on the EQ-3 mount, and should appear as in Figure 4. Orient the batteries as indicated on the white plastic battery holder. Connect the end of the battery pack's power cord to the DC power input on the hand controller. There is a white cord that is permanently connected to the hand controller.

Consult the manual that came with your equatorial mount for details on how to polar align it. When observing in the Northern Hemisphere, the N/S switch on the hand controller should be in the "N" position. For the Southern Hemisphere, it should be in the "S" position. setscrews on the drive coupler are tightened), and turn the power switch on the hand controller to the "ON" position. If properly polar aligned and balanced, the mount will now be tracking the motion of the night sky, and the telescope should hold any astronomical object in its eyepiece steady over time. lock levers and move the telescope until it is pointed in the general direction of the object you wish to view. Now, disengage the motor drive by loosening the setscrew on the end of the drive coupler, and use the R. A. slow-motion control cables to center the object in the eyepiece's field of view. Re-engage the motor by tightening the setscrew, and the motor drive system will keep the object centered over time.
