Product information "Vixen AP Declination Body Unit"

The declination body unit allows you to expand the AP Photoguider to a complete equatorial AP mount with mototized RA and DC axes. You can move and track the mount in both axes. In addition, you will need the Manual Fine Adjustment Module, or the DEC motor module, as well as the AP counterweight rod and a counterweight. The counter weights of the SX mount series can all be used on the counter weight rod. The APZ counter weight can also be attached to this unit. The built-in battery compartment serves as an additional power supply and is powered by 4 AA batteries.
