At the most basic level - all you need is a cable release with a timer function. I got one off ebay relatively cheaply a couple of years back and it works great.

Thankyou so much for that link my old man has a telescope with a motor. Off to have a look and see if it's working.

I started looking into it.

Before I knew it I had a dynamic perception stage zero slider and had added an emotimo TB3 and upgraded motor... I'm not checking the bank balance...

I bought the slider used in NZ for a reasonable price.

The TB3 came from emotimo new from the US cost a bomb.
