  • Adapter ESATTO 4" for ARCO 2"

    The PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 4" and ARCO 2" provides the essential mechanical link between PrimaLuceLab's large-format robotic focuser and their high-resolution camera rotator. This adapter allows you to create a rigid, fully integrated imaging train, enabling control of the ARCO 2" rotator directly through the dedicated port on the ESATTO 4" focuser.

    Integrate the ARCO 2" Rotator with the ESATTO 4" Focuser

    This adapter physically joins the ARCO 2" rotator to the ESATTO 4" microfocuser, creating a single, robust unit at the heart of your imaging setup. The ARCO 2" is then controlled through the special rotator port on the ESATTO, using the rotator port cable supplied with ARCO, simplifying cable management and software configuration. By integrating these two components, you can maintain perfect focus and field orientation through a single control point within the PrimaLuceLab software ecosystem.

  • What is the primary function of the Adapter for ESATTO 4" and ARCO 2"?

    This adapter's sole purpose is to mechanically connect the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" rotator to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 4" robotic focuser. It creates a secure, rigid connection; the ARCO is then powered and controlled through the special rotator port on the ESATTO.

    How does this adapter allow me to control the ARCO 2" rotator?

    The adapter joins the two units mechanically, and the ARCO 2" plugs into the dedicated rotator port on the ESATTO 4" focuser. This allows you to control the ARCO 2" rotator directly through the ESATTO's firmware and software, such as PrimaLuceLab's PLAY application, centralizing control and simplifying your setup.

    Is this adapter necessary if I'm building an imaging train with an ESATTO 4" on my large refractor or astrograph?

    Yes. If you wish to include the ARCO 2" rotator in an imaging train that uses the ESATTO 4" focuser, this specific adapter is required to join the two components together correctly and enable integrated control.

    Does the Adapter for ESATTO 4" and ARCO 2" work with other focusers or rotators?

    No, this adapter is purpose-built exclusively for connecting the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" rotator to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 4" focuser. It will not work with other brands or different models within the PrimaLuceLab lineup.

    What's the main benefit of using this adapter instead of connecting the ARCO 2" separately?

    The primary benefits are integration and simplicity. You create a single, rigid imaging unit that minimizes flexure, reduce the number of cables running to your computer, and control both focus and rotation from a single software interface.

    If I want to de-rotate my field for long exposures on an alt-az mount with an ESATTO 4", is this the correct adapter for the ARCO 2"?

    Yes. The ARCO 2" functions as a field de-rotator in this scenario. This adapter is the essential component needed to integrate the ARCO 2" with your ESATTO 4" focuser to achieve precise, software-controlled de-rotation for your alt-azimuth setup.
