Comments about Celestron Astromaster Motor Drive:
The motor works exactly as expected and I've had no problems. Ordering was easy [...] I did have to carve a slight amount additional space for the switches in the casing.

Comments about Celestron Astromaster Motor Drive:
I got this motor so I could do ultra slow timelapse with my slider dolly. It is nice and cheap, but it is just that, cheap. The motor cuts in and out. I don't know if it's a bad connection or what, but I checked it as best I can and can't figure out why it keeps cutting out. Sometimes, I have to switch the on, off button back and forth to get it running again. I might have just gotten a bad one, but I wish I would have saved my money. It's pretty much useless to me.

Comments about Celestron Astromaster Motor Drive:
Well, it does its job right. It keeps the telescope aligned, but there are a few small annoying things about it. For one the case is loose and kind of just flops around, and it is a bit loud, especially with the case on. But the most annoying thing is a feature that it is lacking: A clutch for fine tuning it manually. Once it is screwed on the only way you can manually adjust the alignment of the scope is to loosen it up and move it around by hand. That's kind of annoying. Other than that though, it works!
