A simple digital system drive for small telescopes.
Abstract
A variable stable frequency source employing a crystal oscillator and a programmable digital divider chain is described. The system offers an ideal arrangement for controlling tracking rates of small and medium size telescopes by which limitations due to mechanical imperfections can almost be completely eliminated.
