Avec le moteur de mise au point installé, vous pouvez mettre les objets célestes au point de manière nette et précise à l'aide de la télécommande de votre télescope ou d'un ordinateur au lieu d'utiliser le bouton de mise au point. Un moteur de mise au point est idéal pour les observateurs visuels qui souhaitent effectuer une mise au point exacte (en particulier ceux qui ont des problèmes de dextérité) et un accessoire indispensable pour les astroimageurs. Avec une mise au point motorisée installée, un astroimageur n'a plus besoin d'être physiquement près du télescope pour focaliser une image. Combiné au contrôle informatisé de la monture et de la caméra, le moteur de mise au point permet à l'imageur de collecter des données à distance à partir d'un observatoire d'arrière-cour, ou même d'un télescope situé à des centaines de kilomètres. En prime, les couvercles de port protègent les ports lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés, et les couvercles ne peuvent pas être perdus en raison de la conception attachée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTubes optiques compatibles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLe moteur de mise au point est compatible avec tous les SCT de 6\" à 14\" d'ouverture qui ont été produits depuis l'année 2006.

Le facteur de compensation de température est par exemple calculé avec le logiciel SteelGO et peut ensuite être enregistré localement sur l'unité de contrôle Steeldrive II. La période de compensation et le seuil ∆T peuvent également être ajustés.

La puissance peut être réglée dans le logiciel SteelGo ou vous définissez une température souhaitée pour l'un des capteurs de température. Cela évite un échauffement indésirable du télescope, car vous maintenez le capuchon de rosée juste au-dessus du point de rosée.

Askar SQA55 Autofocus Kit is an engineered hardware solution for adding precise, automated focusing to your SQA55 astrograph. This comprehensive kit includes 4 different MXL synchronous belts, 2 MXL pulleys, and 2 L-shaped hollow adapter plates to ensure compatibility with virtually any electronic focuser. With all necessary M3 and M4 screws included, you can achieve a rigid, backlash-free connection for repeatable, accurate focusing across every imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Tensioner Pulley System for 0-Backlash Focusing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard belt-drive systems for electronic focusers often suffer from unavoidable belt slack, which introduces backlash and compromises focusing accuracy. The Askar SQA55 AF Kit solves this directly with an integrated tensioner pulley, allowing you to adjust the synchronous belt to a perfectly tight state. This eliminates slippage and ensures that every step of the focuser motor translates into precise, repeatable focus adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUniversal Fit: 4 Belts and 2 Pulleys for Any EAF\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike single-brand solutions, the SQA55 AF Kit is designed for near-universal compatibility. The inclusion of 4 different length MXL synchronous belts and 2 different pulleys ensures you have the right components to match the hardware of almost any electronic focuser on the market.

In focusing, it means the focuser doesn't move immediately or precisely when the motor turns, leading to inaccurate results. The SQA55 AF Kit prevents this by using a dedicated tensioner pulley that keeps the belt tight, ensuring there is no slack and every motor movement translates directly into focuser travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eCan I use the Askar SQA55 Autofocus Kit with a Pegasus Astro Cube or other large EAF?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baader Steeldrive II Motor Unit brings automated, repeatable, and temperature-compensated focusing to your imaging system. Engineered in Germany, it replaces manual adjustment with a high-torque stepper motor that connects directly to the focuser via a timing belt, a design choice that completely eliminates the backlash inherent in gearbox-driven systems. This unit is the core mechanical component for achieving critical focus with heavy camera payloads, especially in remote or automated observatory setups where precision is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBacklash-Free Focusing with a High-Torque Timing Belt Drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike motors that rely on intermediate gears, the Steeldrive II employs a direct timing belt engagement. This architecture ensures that every command from the controller results in immediate and precise focuser movement, with zero play or lag. The high-torque stepper motor is capable of moving heavy imaging trains without slipping, maintaining focus accuracy throughout an imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbsolute Positioning with a Contactless Homing Sensor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor automated and remote imaging, knowing the exact focuser position is critical. The Steeldrive II motor unit features a contactless hall-effect homing sensor that provides a precise, wear-free reference point. This allows for reliable homing and the ability to return to saved absolute focus positions with perfect repeatability, night after night. Even in the event of a power loss, the system's persistent memory retains the last known position, provided the focuser has not been moved manually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomated Focus Correction with Temperature Compensation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs ambient temperature drops during an imaging session, a telescope's optical tube contracts, causing the focal point to shift. The Steeldrive II motor unit includes a digital temperature sensor to combat this thermal drift.
