This compact adapter translates the precise corrector plate temperature readings from the Celestron ring, allowing your ECCO2 and EAGLE to intelligently manage power and prevent dew formation during imaging sessions. It mounts securely to a Vixen-style finder shoe and draws power directly from the ECCO2, ensuring a clean, cable-efficient setup.\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\u003eIntegrate Celestron Dew Heater Rings with Your ECCO2 Controller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron Dew Heater Rings differ from standard dew straps by using an integrated NTC thermistor for direct temperature measurement of a telescope's corrector plate. The ECCO-NTC adapter is specifically engineered to interpret this signal for the ECCO2 controller. This allows the ECCO2 to use real-time, accurate temperature data to calculate the dew point and apply just enough power to the heater ring, optimizing power consumption and thermal stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis integration is crucial for unlocking the full potential of your automated setup, especially for long exposures with SCT or aplanatic SC telescopes where precise thermal management is key. Please note, this adapter is designed exclusively for the ECCO2 and is not compatible with the first-generation ECCO controller.\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\u003eStreamlined Mounting Within the PrimaLuceLab Ecosystem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for seamless physical integration, the small and lightweight ECCO-NTC adapter attaches to any standard Vixen-style finder shoe on your telescope. Two included grub screws allow you to securely fix the main body of your ECCO2 directly to the adapter. This creates a solid, compact unit that minimizes clutter and potential snags in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower and data connections are straightforward, as the ECCO-NTC is powered directly by the ECCO2.
