Which Celestron telescopes is this ESATTO 2” LP adapter compatible with?
This adapter is designed for Celestron telescopes that use the large 3.3" rear thread. This includes the Celestron SCT 11" and 14" models, as well as the EdgeHD 925, 1100, and 1400 models.
Can I use this adapter with my Celestron EdgeHD 1100 and the .7x focal reducer?
Yes. The adapter is specifically designed with a minimal profile to preserve as much backfocus as possible, making it fully compatible with the Celestron 0.7x focal reducers for the EdgeHD 925, 1100, and 1400 models.
Does this ESATTO 2” LP adapter connect any other PrimaLuceLab accessories?
Yes, this adapter creates the correct threaded connection for the ESATTO 2" LP focuser, which then allows you to attach other accessories in the PrimaLuceLab ecosystem, such as the ARCO 2" robotic rotator, for a fully automated imaging setup.
Why do I need a special adapter for the ESATTO 2” LP on these larger SCTs?
Unlike smaller SCTs that use a 2" thread, larger Celestron models (11" and up) feature a wider 3.3" rear port for better stability and to prevent vignetting with large sensors. This adapter securely steps down from that large 3.3" thread to the input thread of the ESATTO 2" LP focuser.
How does this adapter affect imaging the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with my C14 and reducer?
The adapter's primary role is to ensure a rigid, flex-free connection for your focuser and camera. Its thin profile is crucial for maintaining the precise spacing required by the focal reducer to achieve a flat field, ensuring stars are sharp across the entire frame when capturing large targets like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).
Will this adapter work with the standard ESATTO 2" or ESATTO 3" focuser?
No, this adapter is specifically designed to connect to the ESATTO 2" LP (Low Profile) robotic focuser. It is not compatible with the standard ESATTO 2" or larger models, which have different threading and body designs.
