Hi David......

Could you please say what the model number is of the Meade dual-axis head
Can it be used as a pan/tilt head... ie. can it be used to pan continuously... at various (slow) speeds....
I guess that is what you are using it for.
I dont know much about this, but it certainly looks interesting.

I looked at a Bescor pan/tilt controller, but doesn't go slow enough and quality doesnt look great.

...and hte handheld controller you have... you say 'aputure' brand, but I see the Meade controller in the photo.... do they do different things ?

Thanks
Shawn

I shot this video today using my Nikon D200. Set the interval to shoot one frame per second. Still need a little practice, but it was interesting.
