PegasusAstro Focusing Motor FocusCube for Celestron SC 11

Achieve swift, reliable, and precise focusing for your telescope with the FocusCube.

As technology evolves in astronomy, the demand for precise telescope focusing has increased. Fast optics and modern camera devices necessitate automatic focusing at regular intervals, especially considering how temperature variations can affect focal length and alter the optimal focus position. The Pegasus FocusCube is specifically designed to address these requirements.

Crafted with high-quality materials and modern electronics, the FocusCube offers digital precise focus control directly from your PC. Enclosed within a compact box are electronics and a stepper motor for absolute position focusing.

Despite its compact size, the FocusCube boasts impressive lifting capacity, capable of supporting over 6kg of imaging equipment even when the telescope is pointing at the zenith.

The FocusCube's stepper motor is a high-resolution geared model with minimal backlash and high torque, enabling micron-scale focusing accuracy.

Setting up the FocusCube is straightforward: attach it to your refractor, reflector, or SCT telescope, connect the power and USB cables, and download the ASCOM drivers or standalone software. You're ready to start focusing!

Additional features include:

• Two bracket versions: Choose between the Universal bracket, compatible with most focusers on the market, or the Celestron SCT Bracket for Celestron SCT telescopes (SC, EdgeHD, RASA).
• Temperature Probe: Monitor the exact environmental temperature with the included one-meter digital probe, which can be conveniently placed near the focuser. Temperature data can be accessed through the supplied software or ASCOM driver.
• ASCOM support: Fully compatible with ASCOM 6 for seamless integration with astronomy software.
• INDI compliance: The Pegasus driver is included with libindi >= 1.5.1, ensuring compatibility with INDI for open astronomy instrumentation.
• Standalone program support: Operate the FocusCube using standalone software, available exclusively for Windows.
• USB cable included: A 1.8m USB Type B cable is included in the standard package for convenient connectivity.
• Firmware upgrade support: Easily upgrade the controller firmware via the USB 2.0 connection using upgrade software, ensuring compatibility with future upgrades.

Important Note: The FocusCube is a standalone device that includes controller functionality. No physical hand controller is included or required. The RJ45 port is designated for the temperature probe.
