More about the series FocusCube...
FocusCube SCT has been replaced by the Focus Cube Zero. Zero allows backlash free movement and is way faster than older motors.
The evolution of technology in astronomy requires a system that will assist in focusing the telescope with great accuracy.
Fast optics and modern camera devices require automatic focusing at very short intervals, as temperature can affect focal length and
modify the optimal focus position. Pegasus FocusCube Zero has been developed to meet all of these requirements.
Designed in high quality with modern electronics, FocusCube can provide digital precise focus control from a PC.
The device includes a stepper motor for absolute position focusing. The electronics and stepper motor are enclosed in a compact box.
The stepper motor provides high speed, focus accuracy and zero backlash. You only need this device to focus!
Attach the FocusCube Zero to your SC telescope, plug in the power, USB cable, download the ASCOM drivers or any standalone software and
you are ready to go!
A specially shaped black anodised aluminium bracket, which is difficult to bend, can be attached to most Celestron SCT telescopes.
FocusCube includes an expansion RJ45 port at the back of the enclosure. This port provides input for the temperature sensor.
An optional hand controller for manual focus control can be acquired for those who might want to add this functionality.
The controller is fully compatible with the latest ASCOM 6.5 version.
In the box:
- 1 x FocusCube Zero
- 1 x SCT bracket (margarita style)
- 1 x Temperature Sensor (0.6m)
- 1 x USB type B cable (1.8 m)
- 2 x aluminium pulleys (60 & 40 teeth) and transmission belt
- 4 x M3x6mm length screws (to attach the enclosure on the bracket)
- 3 x metric screws and washers (to mount the bracket on the SCT)
