PrimaLuceLab Adapter ESATTO 3" for ARCO 3"
- Connects ESATTO 3" Focuser to ARCO 3" Rotator
- Enables Electronic Control via ESATTO Port
- Results in a Combined Rotator Thickness of 24.5mm
- Maintains Large Clear Aperture for 3" Imaging Trains
The PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 3" and ARCO 3" physically joins and electronically links your robotic focuser and rotator into a single, controllable unit with a combined rotator assembly thickness of just 24.5mm. This dedicated adapter allows the ESATTO 3" to directly power and command the ARCO 3" rotator, streamlining your imaging train and cable management.
This adapter is the key to integrating your PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 3" focuser and ARCO 3" rotator into a cohesive system. It provides the rigid mechanical connection and the necessary electronic pass-through for the ESATTO's dedicated port to control the ARCO rotator.
By using this adapter, you eliminate the need for a separate power and data cable for the rotator, as both are handled directly through the ESATTO focuser. This simplifies your cable management and allows for synchronized operation within PrimaLuceLab's PLAY software or other ASCOM-compatible applications.
Back focus is critical in any imaging setup. When this adapter is used to connect the ARCO 3" rotator to the ESATTO 3" focuser, the total thickness of the rotator assembly becomes just 24.5mm.
This minimal profile helps preserve precious back focus, ensuring you have enough room for other essential accessories like off-axis guiders, filter wheels, and your primary imaging camera without compromising the optical path.
This adapter provides a secure mechanical and electronic connection between the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 3" robotic focuser and the ARCO 3" camera rotator. It allows the ESATTO to power and control the ARCO, simplifying your setup.
No. When connected with this adapter, the ARCO 3" rotator draws both power and data directly from the ESATTO 3" focuser through its dedicated port. This eliminates the need for an extra cable running to the rotator.
When the ARCO 3" is installed with this adapter, the total thickness of the rotator becomes 24.5mm. This low-profile design helps conserve valuable back focus in your imaging train.
Yes, absolutely. This adapter is the essential component for integrating the ARCO 3" into your ESATTO 3" imaging train, enabling precise field de-rotation for long exposures on alt-azimuth mounted telescopes or precise camera framing on equatorial mounts.
Yes. By linking the devices with this adapter, they function as a single unit. You can control both the focuser and rotator seamlessly through the PrimaLuceLab PLAY software or any ASCOM-compliant software that connects to the ESATTO 3" focuser.
No, this adapter is specifically designed to connect the 3-inch ESATTO to the 3-inch ARCO. You will need the appropriate adapter designed for the 2-inch models to ensure proper fit and function.
