Equatorial telescope mount drive.

These are simple stepper motor brackets for equatorial telescope mounts. My telescope mount is unbranded and inexpensive. I do not know if the brackets will fit other types. The brackets are for Nema 17 type stepper motors. The equatorial drive should be a 0.9deg per step motor if you intend to use it for astrophotography. Keep your expectations and magnification low as direct driven mounts have limitations.

If you use the bracket for the declination axis you will have to use screws that are 3-4 mm longer than original. If you use a dual shaft motor on the declination axis you can put a knob at the back of it for manual adjustment if you are out of batteries. The motors will of course require some sort of controller. I plan to use an arduino with A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Modules at 1/8 steps.

It is generally not recommended to mount your telescope without counterweights.

The controls on the box are a four axis (well, three and a button) joystick for two axis and focus,
