They are back in stock! New links below: Here are the links! Email Bill to make arrangements for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: scopehed@frontiernet.net (Please let him know that MILAPSE sent you): http://shop.telescope-warehous... --$150+$18 shipping (in the continental U.S.) for the Motor Head, #494 Controller, Tripod, AND L-BRACKET!! I'll get the bracket design up soon... It's quite simple though! Here are the measurements: 3.5" x 9.5" x 1/8" aluminum plate, 90 degree bend at about 3.5", the hole pattern is 4 X 1-1/16" O.C. (3/16" dia). The 1/4" holes to receive the camera mount depends on the camera tripod grommet position. If you had the plate bent you could tap the holes with a home shop drill. If you take the head and your camera to a metal shop it should only take them 5-10 minutes to fabricate something. If you want to learn more about the controllers here are the manuals: http://www.meade.com/manuals/T... http://www.meade.com/manuals/T...

Tried to use a astro telescopehead that can track objects in the sky?

Great hack If you want to change the threading on the base and use a standard coarse thread just buy a Thread Repair Kit 3/8-16 for under $20. The drill and Heli-Coil tap will cut away the old threads. Then follow the instructions to use the insert.

Wow, i actually have this thing laying around my basement. I cant wait to try this out. Check out some of my time lapse videos if you want.

Great, I have been slacking on getting myself into panning and tilting time lapses for to long and this gives me a good place to start.

I already bought it, but I need to ask you if the bracket must be on aluminum, or can be other material like iron or steel. Thanks.

dude all you need is a telescope mount thats motorized! I have one of those, whoda thunk.

So let me get this straight. I need a tripod, a mount (motor head), and controller device? I was looking to piece together a kit, since the big man seems to be sold out. So. On ebay I was looking up: Meade #497 Controller. Celestron 114GT (unfortunately comes with the telescope) And then what Tripo and I supposed to look up? Will any tripod work, or does it have to be specific for the mount/motor head. I work in the film industry so I have a few normal tripods.
