After repeated trial shooting, stars sometimes blur at 60 sec exposure with auto guide. 30 sec or less, stars are stable and appear as dots. Consistently good results are obtained with live stacking of 30 seconds or less. Upload photos of the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula.

I have redesigned circular gears and center shafts for more accuracy.

CircularGear0.6E_1.stl
CircularGear0.6E_2..stl
Shafts0.6E.stl

The first model used 25mm NEMA 17 on the DEC axis, but was modified to also use 35mm. This increases the power and thus the accuracy.

And an adapter has been added to allow the electric drill to rotate drive at high speed for break in.

The OnStep circuit will be changed to Wemos&CNC3. The material is easily obtained and easy to assemble. The back cover will be modified accordingly.
