ELECTRONIC FOCUSING: Using the Celestron focus motor, you can use a computer or manual control in sharp, precise focus for hands-free remote observation. Self-powered: when connected to a computer-controlled mount from Celestron the mount delivers the energy. When connected directly to a computer, USB delivers the power. Compatibility: works with a wide range of Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD and Row-Ackermann-Schmidt astrograph telescopes from Celestron. MOTOR CONTROLS: Different speed, compensation of the reversal range of the focuser, and automatic GoTo indexed focusing position so that the motor can automatically return to a previous focus position. Software: For computer control, Celestron provides a free utility for the focuser. Besides, PWI software can control the focus motor. For third-party focus control software, you need an ASCOM driver. › See more product details; Product description The focus motor for SCT and EdgeHD enables electronic focusing for Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and EdgeHD telescopes from Celestron. With the installed focus motor, you can precisely focus your telescope on celestial bodies using the hand control or your computer instead of the focusing button. A focus motor is ideal for observers who want to enter the exact focus (especially for stargazers with motor skills problems) and an essential accessory for astrophotographers. With a motorized focuser, an astrophotographer no longer has to stand next to the telescope to focus an image. With the computer control of the mount and camera, a photographer can capture data remotely from a garden observatory and even from a telescope hundreds of miles away. As an added bonus, the ports are protected by secured caps that cannot be lost when not in use. The focus motor is compatible with all SCTs with an aperture of 6 to 14 inches manufactured since 2006. It is not compatible with 5-inch SCTS or older models. It is compatible with the 8-inch Rowe Ackermann-Schmidt-Astrograf (RASA), the 36 cm RASA, the 7-inch Maksutov-Cassegrain and all EdgeHD optical tubes. It can also be used with the 11-inch RASA, but this requires the focusing retrofit kit for the RASA 11. For 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, due to mechanical interference, only the Off-Axis Guider (#93648) cannot be used when the focus motor is installed. There are three ways to power your Celestron focus motor. 1 If you use a computerised mount from Celestron you can operate and control the focus motor by mounting using the included AUX cable. This allows manual control of the mount (NexStar+ or StarSense). 2 If you do not use a Celestron mount, you can control the focus motor from the USB port of a computer. You will need a USB A to B cable that is not included. 3. You can also use an external 12V DC power source that you plug into the input socket of the motor.; Product description The focus motor for SCT and EdgeHD enables electronic focusing for Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and EdgeHD telescopes from Celestron.
