Hi,
I ordered a Tom Osypowski compact platform for my 8" Dob. I live in Canada where winter is severe. The standard motor is a servo one using a 9V dry cell battery. There is an option (extra cost) of a stepper motor running on a 12V DC rechargeable gel-cell battery. I wonder if anyone out there with experience using a Tom O compact platform in cold weather (often below -10 degree celsius) can comment.
Thanks
