How do I install the 37mm adapter on my 3.5" FeatherTouch focuser for my SESTO SENSO 2?
To install the adapter, you first remove both the coarse and micrometric adjustment knobs from your 3.5" FeatherTouch focuser. The 37mm adapter then fits over the exposed shaft, and you can mount the SESTO SENSO 2 onto the adapter using the included longer bushing for a secure fit.
Will this adapter work with my SESTO SENSO 2 and my Takahashi FSQ-130?
Yes, this adapter is designed for focusers that use a 37mm diameter shaft, which includes the focuser on the Takahashi FSQ-130 telescope. It will allow you to properly connect your SESTO SENSO 2 for robotic focusing.
Why do I need this 37mm adapter for my SESTO SENSO 2?
The SESTO SENSO 2 is designed to fit 25mm diameter focuser shafts by default, which is the most common size. If your telescope's focuser has a larger 37mm shaft, this adapter is required to create a compatible mechanical connection.
Is this adapter compatible with the original, first-generation SESTO SENSO?
No, this adapter is not compatible with the first-generation SESTO SENSO. It has been designed exclusively for use with the SESTO SENSO 2 robotic focusing motor.
Does the PrimaLuceLab 37mm adapter include all necessary hardware for installation?
Yes, the adapter kit includes the main 37mm adapter body as well as the longer bushing that is required to connect the SESTO SENSO 2 motor to the focuser through the adapter.
What is the standard shaft size the SESTO SENSO 2 fits without an adapter?
The SESTO SENSO 2 natively fits focusers that have a 25mm diameter shaft. This is a very common standard, but for larger focusers, an adapter like this 37mm version is necessary.
