Hey there!

I was wondering, whether i could use a setup of a StageR Rotary Unit with the leveling wedge and the nmx-controller (all dynamic perception) as a star tracking device. But I'm struggeling to get it rotating slow enough! Has anyone already had the same idea and tried it out or any other suggestions?

regards

You could probably use a different stepper motor with a larger gear ratio to get it to slow down, if your motors are too fast.

Did you had success with the stageR as star tracker?

@vepus, I have used a StageR as a star tracker (sorry, I know you posted this months ago). Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi, thanks in advance for letting me know you’ve worked it out. Sorry for the delay. I’d like to know the seetings you used for sideral tracking. It’s just about setting a certain velocity?
