ABSTRACT:
A search mount for a telescope and a method of operation in which a telescope mount is provided which is indexable about a vertical axis and also about a horizontal axis so as to lay the telescope in any desired direction. The mount is provided with motors, and the movement of the motors is under the control of digital circuitry, and manual switches. The drives between the motors in the telescope mount embody backlash free reduction gearing of novel design and construction. In particular, the motors operate without requiring any feedback to effect control thereof.
