Sidereal Technology
This company offers an excellent Dual Servo Telescope Controller that is packed with features. Slip-clutched motor assemblies allow you to move the scope by hand without first having to de-clutch the drives, or you can move the scope with the precision servo motors using a sophisticated wireless hand pad that offers three different programmable speeds -- slewing, centering and guiding. Equatorial Platforms is using this new Telescope Controller from SiTech to drive its new line of SpicaEyes All-Aluminum Telescopes with SlipStream Drive.
