PegasusAstro Focusing Motor FocusCube v2 for SC Telescopes (C6, C8, C9.25)

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

As astronomical technology advances, the need for highly accurate telescope focusing becomes increasingly apparent. With the rapid evolution of optics and camera devices, automatic focusing at regular intervals is essential to maintain optimal image quality, particularly in response to temperature fluctuations affecting focal length. Developed to meet these demands, the Pegasus FocusCube stands out as an ideal solution.

Crafted with superior quality and modern electronics, the FocusCube offers digital precise focus control directly from your PC. Housed within a compact enclosure are advanced electronics and a stepper motor engineered for absolute position focusing.

Despite its compact size, the FocusCube exhibits remarkable strength, capable of effortlessly lifting over 6kg of imaging equipment, even when your telescope is aimed at the zenith.

The FocusCube features a high-resolution geared stepper motor (with a Step Angle of 7.5 degrees, Deg 120, Gear Ratio 1:120), renowned for its minimal backlash and high torque, facilitating micron-scale focusing precision.

Setting up the FocusCube is a breeze: simply attach it to your refractor, reflector, or SCT telescope, connect the power and USB cables, and download the ASCOM drivers or standalone software. You'll be ready to focus in no time!

Additional features include:

• Two bracket versions: Choose between the Universal bracket, compatible with most focusers on the market, or the Celestron SCT Bracket (SC, EdgeHD, RASA).
• Temperature Probe: Monitor the exact environmental temperature with the included one-meter digital probe, allowing precise adjustments based on environmental conditions.
• ASCOM support: Fully compatible with ASCOM 6, ensuring seamless integration with astronomical software.
• INDI compliance: The Pegasus driver is included with libindi >= 1.5.1, providing compatibility with INDI for open astronomy instrumentation.
• Standalone program support: Operate the FocusCube using standalone software, exclusively available 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 enhancements.

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