  • Adapter ESATTO 3,5” LP for ARCO 3"

    The PrimaLuceLab Adapter for ESATTO 3.5” LP and ARCO 3" creates a seamless mechanical and data connection between PrimaLuceLab's low-profile robotic focuser and their arcsecond-resolution rotator. This adapter adds only 3mm of optical thickness, resulting in a combined ESATTO/ARCO unit with a total profile of just 26mm. It enables unified control of your imaging train, integrating focusing and field rotation into a single, rigid system managed through the ESATTO's dedicated port.

    ESATTO 3.5" LP to ARCO 3" Integration: A 3mm Connection

    This adapter is engineered specifically to join the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 3.5" LP low-profile focuser with the ARCO 3" rotator. It provides the correct threading and spacing to form a solid, flex-free connection while allowing the ARCO's data and power to pass through to the ESATTO controller. With an optical thickness of just 3mm, it minimizes impact on your backfocus, which is critical when using reducers or correctors with tight tolerances.

    A Rigid 26mm Combined Profile for Your Imaging Train

    By using this adapter, the ARCO 3" rotator's thickness increases to a combined 26mm, creating a compact and robust focusing and rotation assembly. This integrated unit simplifies cable management and reduces the potential for sag or misalignment, ensuring your camera remains perfectly orthogonal to the optical axis. The result is a streamlined, computer-controlled system ready for advanced astrophotography, all managed through PrimaLuceLab's PLAY software.

  • What is the purpose of the Adapter for ESATTO 3.5” LP and ARCO 3"?

    This adapter provides the necessary mechanical and electrical connection to mount the PrimaLuceLab ARCO 3" rotator directly to the ESATTO 3.5" LP low-profile focuser. It allows the two devices to function as a single, integrated unit, controlled through the ESATTO's dedicated port and software like PLAY.

    How much backfocus does the ESATTO 3.5" LP adapter add to my imaging train?

    The adapter itself adds only 3mm of optical thickness to your imaging train. This minimal profile is designed to preserve as much backfocus as possible, making it suitable for optical systems with strict spacing requirements, such as those using field flatteners or focal reducers.

    Is this adapter required to use the ESATTO 3.5” LP with the ARCO 3" rotator?

    Yes. This specific adapter is required to correctly mate the threads and pass through the control signals between the ESATTO 3.5" LP focuser and the ARCO 3" rotator. Without it, the two components cannot be connected or controlled as an integrated system.

    What is the final thickness of the ARCO 3" rotator with this adapter installed?

    When you add this 3mm adapter to the ARCO 3" rotator, the total thickness of the rotator assembly becomes 26mm. This maintains a very low profile for your complete focusing and rotation setup.

    Can I use this adapter with the standard ESATTO 3.5" or only the LP model?

    This adapter is designed exclusively for the ESATTO 3.5" LP (Low Profile) model. Different adapters are required for other focusers in the ESATTO line due to variations in body design and threading.

    If I'm building an imaging train for an EdgeHD telescope, is the ESATTO 3.5" LP adapter a good choice?

    Absolutely. EdgeHD systems often have specific backfocus requirements, especially when using a focal reducer. The 3mm thickness of this adapter helps ensure you can fit the ESATTO 3.5" LP, ARCO 3", an off-axis guider, and your camera all within the required distance, creating a rigid, fully remote-controlled imaging platform.
