The homemade GEM telescope mount in the observatory with the 8inch F5 Newtonian telescope bolted on. This video shows the mount slewing from the due North park position to a star low in the East. For most of the video you just hear the declination motor slewing, with a small contribution from the RA motor towards the end. As you can see the speed is about half a degree per second.
