About

A single-axis camera motion system built on the worm-gear drive of the Losmandy GM-8, without the declination axis. It tracks at sidereal and solar rates for astrophotography and pans or tilts at nine set speeds from 7.5 to 240 degrees per hour for time-lapse work, rotating continuously through 360 degrees in either direction and balancing on Losmandy dovetails without counterweights.
