  • PrimaLuceLab Adapter ESATTO 3" for ARCO 2"

    The PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 3" and ARCO 2" provides the essential mechanical and data link between your large-format focuser and precision rotator. This adapter creates a rigid, unified imaging train, allowing the ESATTO 3" focuser to directly power and control the ARCO 2" rotator through its dedicated accessory port for a streamlined, cable-managed setup.

    Integrate ARCO 2" Rotation with ESATTO 3" Focusing

    This adapter is the key to unlocking the full potential of the PrimaLuceLab ecosystem. By physically coupling the ARCO 2" rotator directly to the ESATTO 3" focuser, you eliminate potential flexure points and simplify your cable routing, as the rotator draws power and receives commands directly from the focuser. Your entire imaging train can be controlled as a single unit through PrimaLuceLab's PLAY software.

    Designed specifically for this pairing, the adapter ensures precise alignment between the optical axes of the focuser and the rotator. This is a dedicated component; it is not compatible with focusers or rotators from other brands, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation within the PrimaLuceLab system.

  • What is the primary function of the PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 3" and ARCO 2"?

    This adapter's sole purpose is to mechanically connect the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" rotator to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 3" focuser. It creates a solid physical connection and allows the ESATTO to power and control the ARCO through a single cable.

    Do I need a separate power cable for my ARCO 2" rotator when using this adapter with an ESATTO 3"?

    No. When connected via this adapter, the ARCO 2" rotator is powered directly through the special port on the ESATTO 3" focuser. This simplifies cable management and reduces the number of power supplies needed at the telescope.

    How does the ESATTO 3" and ARCO 2" adapter simplify my astrophotography setup?

    It consolidates your focusing and field rotation into a single, tightly integrated unit. This results in fewer cables, fewer potential points of failure, and unified control through a single software interface like PrimaLuceLab's PLAY astrophotography suite.

    Is this adapter for the ESATTO 3" and ARCO 2" compatible with other focusers or rotators?

    No, this is a proprietary adapter designed exclusively for connecting the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" rotator to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 3" focuser. It will not work with equipment from other manufacturers or other models within the PrimaLuceLab lineup.

    If I'm imaging the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with a Ritchey-Chrétien and an ESATTO 3", what does adding the ARCO 2" with this adapter allow me to do?

    This setup allows you to precisely frame M31 to your camera sensor's orientation without physically touching the imaging train. For long exposures on an equatorial mount, it also enables field de-rotation, ensuring stars remain perfect points across the entire frame by compensating for any slight polar alignment drift.

    I have a heavy imaging train on my ESATTO 3" focuser. Does this adapter maintain the rigidity of the system when adding the ARCO 2"?

    Yes, the adapter is designed to create a solid, rigid mechanical connection between the focuser and the rotator. This helps to prevent flexure and maintain the stability of your imaging train, which is critical when using heavy cameras, filter wheels, or off-axis guiders.
