Astrophotography in a nutshell: Estía, the focusing motor
Have you ever ruined important shots of deep sky objects because the focus wasn't right? Manual adjustment is often frustrating and time-consuming at night. With Estía, this problem is a thing of the past. This intelligent focus motor finds the perfect star diameter so you can concentrate on your subject. It works fully automatically, precisely and reliably. Your images will be sharp and in focus.
Advantages at a glance:
- Fully automatic focus: with the software of your choice, it finds the smallest star diameter for sharp astrophotography.
- Precise, even under load: a 35 mm stepper motor reliably moves up to 5 kg of equipment.
- Temperature compensation: the sharpness remains stable even with temperature fluctuations.
- Manual control: With the hand control box, you can focus directly on the telescope, even without a computer.
- Universally applicable: the motor fits many focusers, and a mounting kit is included.
- Plug & Play: A single USB cable provides data and power, and the system is compatible with ASCOM and INDI.
- Robust design: An aluminium housing ensures long-term use in all conditions.
Precision at the touch of a button: Automatic focus like the pros
Anyone who stands at a telescope at night knows that sharp stars are the most important thing for every image. With the Estía focusing motor, intelligent software takes control. It constantly measures the star diameter and finds the optimum sharpness in seconds, completely automatically. This means you no longer lose time readjusting and can concentrate fully on your image sequences.
Powerful performance for heavy equipment
The powerful 35 mm stepper motor can move even heavy accessories weighing up to 5 kg. Whether you are using large cameras, filter wheels or heavy correctors, the focus remains constant. This ensures consistent image quality, no matter how much technology you connect to your focuser.
Equipped for every situation
With the hand control box, you always have control at your fingertips, even when you are using the telescope visually. Simply connect a USB power bank and focus at the touch of a button, without a computer. If you want maximum precision, connect the temperature sensor and let the software refocus whenever the temperature changes. This ensures that your focus remains stable even during long nights.
Robust and universally compatible
The solid aluminium housing protects the technology and ensures long-lasting operation. Whether on your patio at home or under the starry sky in the most remote location. Thanks to numerous adaptors, dimensional drawings and clear instructions, Estía fits many common focusers. In addition to INDI, ASCOM allows the motor to be seamlessly integrated into your astrophotography software.
