PegasusAstro Focusing Motor FocusCube v2 for SC Telescopes (C14) (62796)

The FocusCube is designed to deliver fast, reliable, and highly accurate focusing for your telescope, meeting the needs of modern astronomy. With fast optics and sensitive cameras, maintaining perfect focus is essential, especially as temperature changes can quickly shift the focal point. The Pegasus FocusCube provides digital focus control from your PC, ensuring sharp, precise images throughout your observing or imaging session.

This compact unit houses a high-resolution geared stepper motor and advanced electronics, capable of lifting over 6 kg of imaging equipment-even when the telescope is pointed at the zenith. The stepper motor features a 7.5° step angle and a 1:120 gear ratio, offering very low backlash and high torque for micron-level focusing precision.

Installation is simple: attach the FocusCube to your refractor, reflector, or SCT telescope, connect the power and USB cables, and install the ASCOM drivers or standalone software. The device is compatible with both universal and Celestron SCT brackets, making it suitable for a wide variety of telescope models.

This device is ideal for astrophotographers and observers who require precise, automated focusing for their C14 telescope.

Additional features:

• Bracket options: Choose between a universal bracket for most focusers or a dedicated Celestron SCT bracket (for SC, EdgeHD, RASA models).

• Temperature probe: Includes an external digital temperature sensor with a one-meter cable, allowing real-time monitoring of environmental temperature via software or ASCOM driver.

• ASCOM and INDI support: Fully compatible with ASCOM 6 and INDI (libindi version 1.5.1 or higher).

• Standalone software: Operate the FocusCube using the dedicated Windows program.

• USB cable included: Comes with a 1.8-meter USB Type B cable.

• Firmware upgrades: Firmware can be updated via USB for future enhancements.

Important note: The FocusCube is a fully standalone device with built-in controller functionality. No physical hand controller is needed. The RJ45 port is used exclusively for the temperature probe.
