Ball Bearing Jib Arm w/ Motorized Pan & Tilt

Step 6: Meade Telescope Arm Assembly

Includes:
-Meade motorized pan/tilt arm from an automated Autostar telescope.  Also known as the "Milapse" mount by time lapse photographers.  Just google search "Milapse"
-Aluminum angle bracket

I got my 2nd and 3rd Meade arms on Craigslist for around $60 with the telescope. The first one I overpaid on eBay at around $120. If you don't live in a big city you will probably have to pay more.

what kind of power are you using for the arm? 8 x AA's or something else?

Hello! Thank you for your work! Lot of required information i got here.
Tell me please, were can I get Meade arm or something like that. I live in Ukraine, I have not found such or very expensive( from 1000$ with telescope only). I have no idea what is Craigslist. At ebay expensive too(150$-200$ without shipping). Tnx!

$150-$200 without shipping sounds about right. 

Here is the cheapest retailer I can find in the US. They may give you a better price on shipping than some ebayer.

This website has lots or remote pan and tilt options too.  Servocity.com.  You could try building your own pan tilt with some hobby servos also.

hope this helps
