Automated Focus for Your Celestron C11 with the Pegasus Astro Motor Focus Kit Zero!
Wanting to make focus fast and hassle free? Then look no further than the Motor Focus Kit Zero from Pegasus Astro! This focuser works in conjunction with software to determine the precise focal point of your optics. This is especially useful during long imaging sessions where changes in temperature cause a shift in focus, requiring periodic refocusing. This motor focuser does the hard work for you! Set how often you’d like to refocus your telescope for the sharpest images possible.
This Motor Focus Kit has been designed specifically for SCT users. The black anodized aluminum bracket provides stability and security for this focuser, and the pulley system prevents collision with your filter wheel when a focal reducer is used. The zero backlash bipolar stepper motor delivers the torque necessary for SCT focusing, and is able to shift focus quickly and smoothly. Important note: As this device is solely a motor kit, you will need a user supplied motor controller to drive the motor. Connect the Dual Motor Focus Controller, Pegasus Astro Ultimate Powerbox, or eXternal Motor Controller for full functionality of this Motor Focus Kit Zero.
Hassle-Free Installation!
It may seem daunting to attach a motorized focuser to your telescope, but no need to fret! Installing this device is quick and easy. A pulley system replaces the knob on your focuser and shifts your focus with this motor. Simply attach the Motor Focus Kit Zero around your focusing shaft with the specialized bracket, connect one of the pulleys to the focusing shaft, then join the two pulleys with the included belt. This focus motor features a bore diameter of 22mm and has been designed to fit Celestron 11″ SCT and EdgeHD telescopes.
Multiple Means of Control
This Motor Focuser Kit requires an external control system for operation. Three different Pegasus Astro products are ideal for this: the Dual Motor Focus Controller, Ultimate Powerbox V2 or V3, or the eXternal Motor Controller. The Dual Motor Focus Controller offers connection to your computer for software functionality and also provides manual focus of this motor. Similarly, the Ultimate Powerbox also allows for computer connection and supplies power to your motor and other equipment you may have, though does not offer manual focus abilities. These two devices utilize ASCOM and INDI drivers for use with almost any image capture platform. If you already have an Ultimate Powerbox V2 and would like to expand its focusing capabilities, add the eXternal Motor Controller, which was designed with an additional EXT port. You can also utilize this eXternal Motor Controller to bring focus functionality to the Pocket Powerbox Advance or Pocket Powerbox Micro.
Please Note: Pegasus Astro states that their Unity software suite currently does not work with Windows machines equipped with the Snapdragon line of CPUs.
