FocusCube SCT has been replaced by the Focus Cube Zero. Zero allows backlash free movement and is way faster than older motor. This faster motor will be particularly usefull for customers who noticed the slowness of the older version of the motor.
Focus fast, reliable and accurate your telescope by using the “FocusCube 2″. The evolution of technology in astronomy requires a system which will assist the focusing of the telescope with great accuracy. Fast optics and modern camera devices require automatic focusing in every small period of time as temperature can affect focal length and modify the optimal focus position. Pegasus FocusCube 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. Device includes a stepper motor for absolute position focusing. Electronics and stepper motor are enclosed in a compact sized box.
Stepper motor provides high speed, focus accuracy and zero backlash. You only need this device to focus! Attach the FocusCube Zero to your SCT telescope, plug the power, USB cable, download ASCOM drivers or standalone software and you are ready to go
IMPORTANT NOTE
FocusCube is a standalone device and includes controller functionality.
No physical hand controller is included or required.
DO NOT pair it with the Dual Motor Focus Controller or any other controller in the market.
DO NOT connect this RJ45 port to the Ultimate Powerbox RJ45 Stepper Output
The RJ45 port at the back is only for the hand controller or the included temperature sensor.
Zero backlash stepper motor
Embedded bipolar stepper motor provides a zero backlash movement. Motor is very fast and allows you to quickly move from any focus point to another.
Two diferent bracket versions
You can choose between:
- Universal L Bracket
- SCT Bracket
SCT Bracket fits to Celestron C Series, Celestron Edge and Celestron RASA telescopes. We provide three SCT versions. The difference is in the metal pulley bore diameter & the screw length in the package. Please make sure you have selected the correct type!
- Celestron Classic & EdgeHD 6, 8, 9.25 (SKU:PEG-FC2-SCT68925)
- Celestron Classic & Edge HD 11 (SKU:PEG-FC2-SCT11)
- Celestron Classic & Edge HD 14 (SKU:PEG-FC2-SCT14)
- Celestron RASA 8 (SKU: PEG-FC2-SCT68925)
- Cellestron RASA 11 (V2 – For V1 you will need Celestron Retrofit Kit) (SKU:PEG-FC2-SCT11)
- Celestron RASA 14” (SKU:PEG-FC2-SCT14)
Temperature Probe
An external digital temperature sensor input is located near the motor connector. A digital probe of one meter (3 feet) length is supplied. The probe can be placed near the focuser so the exact temperature of the focuser / environment can be seen through the supplied software or ASCOM driver (probe is always included)
Expansion Port / Manual Focus (optional accessory)
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.
ASCOM supported
The controller is fully compatible with latest ASCOM 6.4.
INDI (Open Astronomy Instrumentation) supported
Pegasus Focuscube is fully compatible with INDI. Driver is included in stable libindi.
Official Indi Driver : http://indilib.org/devices/focusers/pegasus-dmfc.html
Standalone program supported
The controller can be operated by the standalone software.
(Only available for Windows)
USB cable are included
Six solid motor couplers are included
Six solid, different bore size, motor couplers are provided so you can select the coupler that fits to your focuser’s shaft. Choose between 3mm to 8mm couplers. All of them are included in the “Universal” package.
Firmware upgrade support
Controller firmware supports re-programming via the USB 2.0 connection using upgrade software, for future upgrades which may become available. We constantly receive feedback from our customers and keep updating the firmware and software with new features.
