Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Handle 12 inch length (Pre-owned)

An Arcturus Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Handle (12-inch length) is a handy accessory for manually adjusting the fine movements of a telescope's mount. Here are a few reasons why someone might purchase it:

1. Improved Precision in Fine Adjustments

• The cable allows for smoother, precise movements of the telescope when tracking celestial objects. This is especially useful for mounts with slow-motion controls, enabling the user to make fine adjustments without disturbing the setup.

2. Easier Access to Controls

• The flexible cable extends the reach to the mount’s adjustment knobs, making it easier to access the controls, especially when the telescope is pointed at awkward angles or is mounted high.

3. Comfort and Ergonomics

• The handle at the end of the cable provides a comfortable grip, reducing strain during extended observation sessions. It allows for smoother and more controlled adjustments compared to directly turning stiff or small knobs.

4. Reduced Vibration

• Using a flexible cable minimizes vibrations that can occur when directly manipulating the mount, ensuring a steadier view through the eyepiece.

5. Compatibility

• It’s designed for mounts with manual slow-motion control (e.g., some equatorial or alt-azimuth mounts), making it a versatile and simple upgrade.
