  • ESATTO 2" LP Focuser with ARCO 2" Rotator

    This bundle integrates the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2" LP focuser and the ARCO 2" rotator into a single, compact unit for complete remote control over your imaging train. Engineered to work together seamlessly, this system provides precise, robotic focusing and field rotation while dramatically simplifying cable management. It replaces two separate devices and their corresponding cables with one low-profile assembly, reducing potential snags and setup complexity for automated astrophotography.

    Unified Focus and Rotation: The ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2" System

    By combining the ESATTO 2" LP focuser with the ARCO 2" rotator, this package delivers two critical imaging functions in a tightly integrated form factor. The ESATTO provides the precise, repeatable focus adjustments necessary for sharp stars, while the ARCO allows you to frame your target perfectly or act as a field de-rotator for alt-azimuth mounts. Because they are designed as a system, you gain these capabilities without the bulk and connection headaches of separate components.

    Simplified Cabling for Snag-Free Remote Imaging

    One of the most significant challenges in a remote imaging setup is cable drag and the risk of snags during a long exposure sequence. This bundle solves that problem with a unified connection design. A single USB cable runs from your control computer to the ESATTO focuser, which then powers and controls the ARCO rotator via a short, included link cable. This eliminates the need for separate power and data lines for the rotator, creating a cleaner, more reliable setup.

    Seamless Control with PLAY and ASCOM Drivers

    You have complete flexibility in how you control the ESATTO and ARCO system. Standard ASCOM drivers ensure full compatibility with a wide range of popular Windows-based astrophotography software. For users invested in the PrimaLuceLab ecosystem, the native PLAY software offers a streamlined, all-in-one control interface. PLAY allows you to manage the focuser, rotator, and other connected devices like the EAGLE computer from a single, intuitive application designed for astrophotography.

  • What software can I use to control the ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2" bundle?

    You can control the ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2" using any Windows-based astrophotography software that supports ASCOM focusers and rotators. For a more integrated experience, you can use PrimaLuceLab's proprietary PLAY software, which is designed to control their entire line of products from a single application.

    How do the ESATTO 2" LP focuser and ARCO 2" rotator connect to my computer?

    The system is designed for minimal cable clutter. You only need to connect one USB cable from your computer to the ESATTO 2" LP focuser. The ARCO 2" rotator then connects directly to the ESATTO with a short link cable, receiving both power and data through the focuser.

    Do I need separate power supplies for the ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2"?

    No. The ARCO rotator is powered directly by the ESATTO focuser. The ESATTO itself can often draw sufficient power from a high-current USB port. A separate 12V power supply for the ESATTO is only required if your computer's USB port cannot provide enough current.

    Can I use the ARCO 2" rotator for field de-rotation on my Celestron CPC alt-az mount?

    Yes. The ARCO 2" rotator is designed to function as both a camera angle adjuster for equatorial mounts and a field de-rotator for alt-azimuth mounts. When properly configured with compatible software, it can counteract the field rotation inherent in alt-az tracking, enabling long-exposure deep-sky imaging.

    How does the ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2" bundle attach to a large Celestron EdgeHD 1100 telescope?

    To attach this bundle to larger Celestron SCT and EdgeHD telescopes like the 11-inch or 14-inch models, you will need a specific adapter. PrimaLuceLab offers adapters that connect the focuser to the large 3.3" threaded port on the rear cell of these telescopes, ensuring a secure, rigid connection.

    What is the main advantage of getting the ESATTO 2" LP and ARCO 2" as a bundle?

    The primary advantage is integration. The focuser and rotator are designed to work as a single unit, which results in a more compact physical profile and drastically simplified power and data cabling. This reduces setup time, weight, and the potential for cable snags during an imaging session.
