What’s a decent star tracker doesn’t have to be a go to but just for tracking I found one but it’s an eq mount with a motor but I think that’s just what it is right ??

Is a 114/1000 seben star sheriff nice for a beginner (like me)

So I got this telescope and I think I’m doing something wrong but it could be also that this hobby has a steep learning curve

There is so much stuff u gotta learn and know

I think next thing I will do is build myself a motor drive with a belt drive for my eq3 mount because I ain’t buying those for over 100€ motor drives I’d rather spend more money later for a better go to mount or maybe even a Astro camera when I know more stuff

Let me know

Also before I had a hokenn optics 76/700 on a az mount now I got a eq mount wich is definitely better and more sturdy

I know how to polar align a bit cuz I can’t see the North Star befuse there’s a house in the way befuse I use my telescope on my balcony lol
