Model Description
It is new version 3D printed - EQ telescope compact mount for [OnStep goto controller](https://groups.io/g/onstep/wiki/home), now use ...Show more [17HS19-1684S-PG100](https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/nema-17-stepper-motor-bipolar-l48mm-w-gear-raio-1001-planetary-gearbox-17hs19-1684s-pg100.html) Nema 17 Stepper Motor with 99.05:1 Planetary Gearbox.

Only RA axis can use for longtime astrophotography (Tracking speed is Sidereal, Lunar, or Solar)

#####OnStep config.XXX

For 128microstep

<pre>
// Axis1 is for RA/Az
// calculated as : stepper_steps * micro_steps * gear_reduction1 * (gear_reduction2/360)
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: 200 * 128 * 1 * (99+104/2057) / 360 = 7043.59531
#define StepsPerDegreeAxis1 7043.59531

// Axis2 is for Dec/Alt
// calculated as : stepper_steps * micro_steps * gear_reduction1 * (gear_reduction2/360)
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: 200 * 128 * 1 * (99+104/2057) / 360 = 7043.59531
#define StepsPerDegreeAxis2 7043.59531

// PEC, number of steps for a complete worm rotation (in RA)
// calculated as : (StepsPerDegreeAxis1*360)/gear_reduction2.
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: (7043.59531*360)/(99+104/2057) = 6400
#define StepsPerWormRotationAxis1 25600L
</pre>

For 32microstep

<pre>
// Axis1 is for RA/Az
// calculated as : stepper_steps * micro_steps * gear_reduction1 * (gear_reduction2/360)
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: 200 * 32 * 1 * (99+104/2057) / 360 = 1760.89883

// Axis2 is for Dec/Alt
// calculated as : stepper_steps * micro_steps * gear_reduction1 * (gear_reduction2/360)
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: 200 * 32 * 1 * (99+104/2057) / 360 = 1760.89883
#define StepsPerDegreeAxis2 1760.89883

// PEC, number of steps for a complete worm rotation (in RA)
// calculated as : (StepsPerDegreeAxis1*360)/gear_reduction2.
// 17HS19-1684S-PG100: (1760.89883*360)/(99+104/2057) = 6400
