Product Info
Manufacturer Description
Replacement or extra stalk for GSO SkyView Alt-Az Mount.
GSO's popular SkyView alt-az telescope mount comes with only one slow motion control stalk which you can use on either axis (RA or Dec). However, a number of customers have asked for extra stalks for the other axis, and we are pleased to be able to provide this original GSO item.
This is a semi-rigid slow-motion control stalk for manual control of your GSO mount's RA or Dec axis. It is 8" long with a large round hand knob (50mm diameter) at one end. The end shaft that connects to the mount has a 0.31" (8mm) bore.
Note that this cable will only work with this GSO mount (and versions of this same mount sold under different labels like AstroTech Voyager, Levenhuk Ra ATZ, etc.) due to the large 8mm bore. It will not work with most other mounts on the market which use a smaller 6mm bore.
To use, just slide this stalk on to the slow motion shaft, tighten the locking screw (no tools required) and you are good to go. Weight = 4.4oz / 128g. Sold individually.

The Only 8mm Slo Mo Cable I Have Found
Pros:Compact,Lightweight,Accurate,Strong Construction,Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:This is the only slow motion cable I've found that fits the GSO-made alt az mount. This one is 8mm and all the rest seem to be 6mm. It would be nice to have a choice of lengths.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? YesThis review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
