Cette table est vraiment excellente. Le suivi en visuel assisté est plutôt bon. J'en acheté une a Horvath Tamas merci a lui

Hello, in another video (maybe the 1st version of the equatorial platform, not sure) I saw that the speed of the motor is preprogrammed. That means that the speed of the motor is related to the arc of the bearing I assume. Would you please explain how you would determine that?

[@horvathtamas3476]

Hello, the known data is the diameter of the drive cone, which comes from the design. The revolution of the drive cone is 1 rev /24h. The drive cone is driven by a drive wheel, which has a smaller diameter, creating a gear ratio. In most cases, an additional transmission is needed at the motor as well. Therefore, the speed of the motor can be calculated based on the speed of the drive cone and the gears.

Does the version of the platform depend on how far north or south that I live or where I will be using my scope? I'm in North America, United States and I live in a town called Idaho Falls in the state of Idaho. I also travel to Southern Utah and use my scope there as well. There's several hundred mile difference.

It is depend on where you would like to use it. Idaho Falls coordinate is around 43 northern latitude, so you should buy the model 4045. From this year it will be possible to order the segments separately, so you can easily change it, and the controller can be adjusted to the other model. It means if you buy a model 4045, you can order annadditional segment set, for example 3035 or something.

These look well made. Are you still producing them ?

[@horvathtamas3476]

Yes, I'm still producing them.

Very nice!

Hi. Do you ship these to the United Kingdom?

[@horvathtamas3476]

Hi, yes I can ship to the UK.
