  • PrimaLuceLab Adapter ESATTO 2" for ARCO 2"

    The PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 2" and ARCO 2" physically and electronically unifies PrimaLuceLab's robotic focuser and rotator into a single, compact unit. This adapter creates a rigid imaging train with a combined rotator thickness of just 21mm, adding minimal backfocus to your setup. It maintains a clear optical path with a 51mm free aperture, enabling direct control of the ARCO 2" rotator through the dedicated port on the ESATTO 2" focuser to streamline cable management and software control.

    A 21mm Profile with 51mm Clear Aperture

    This adapter is engineered to create a solid, low-profile connection between your ESATTO 2" focuser and ARCO 2" rotator. It adds only 1mm of thickness to the 20mm body of the ARCO, resulting in a combined rotator stack of 21mm. The design ensures that the large 51mm free aperture of the system is preserved, preventing vignetting even with full-frame sensors and fast optical systems.

    Unified Control Through a Single ESATTO Port

    The primary advantage of this adapter is the complete integration it provides within the PrimaLuceLab ecosystem. By connecting the ARCO 2" rotator to the ESATTO 2" focuser's dedicated port, you eliminate the need for a separate data and power cable running from the rotator back to your control computer. All commands and power for the ARCO are routed through the ESATTO, simplifying your setup and creating a cleaner, more reliable remote imaging rig managed by the PLAY software.

  • What is the primary purpose of the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2" to ARCO 2" adapter?

    This adapter allows you to physically connect the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" rotator to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2" robotic focuser. More importantly, it enables the ARCO rotator to be powered and controlled directly through a special port on the ESATTO, creating a single, integrated focusing and rotation unit.

    How much backfocus does the ESATTO to ARCO adapter add to my imaging train?

    The adapter itself adds only 1mm of thickness. The ARCO 2" rotator has a native thickness of 20mm, so when connected to the ESATTO 2" with this adapter, the total thickness of the rotator assembly is 21mm.

    Does using the ESATTO to ARCO adapter limit the clear aperture for my full-frame camera?

    No, it is designed to prevent vignetting. The adapter and the connected ARCO 2" rotator maintain a 51mm free aperture through the entire optical path, which is large enough to fully illuminate full-frame sensors without obstruction.

    How do I control the ARCO 2" rotator when it's connected to the ESATTO 2" with this adapter?

    When connected via this adapter, the ARCO 2" is controlled through the ESATTO 2" focuser. You connect the ESATTO to your EAGLE or Windows computer via a single USB cable, and the PrimaLuceLab PLAY software or ASCOM driver will automatically detect and allow you to control both the focuser and the rotator.

    Do I need a separate power cable for the ARCO 2" when using this adapter?

    No. One of the key benefits of this adapter is that it allows the ESATTO 2" focuser to provide both power and data to the ARCO 2" rotator. This simplifies cable management and reduces the number of connections required on your telescope.

    Is this adapter compatible with other PrimaLuceLab focusers, like SESTO SENSO?

    No, this adapter is specifically designed to connect the ARCO 2" rotator to the ESATTO 2" focuser. It is not compatible with other focusers or rotator models from PrimaLuceLab or other manufacturers.
