Framing/Rotation at your PC - robust and rigid with powerful STEPPER motor for position accuracy and repeatability!

Description

The usb-nFRAME light-weighted, low profile camera field rotator built around the most excellent StellarVue SER-M63 2" Rotator for focusers.

The usb-nFRAME adds a professional grade rubber gear (used widely in the professional photography market) pressed over the knurled ring, rotated by our high power stepper under control of our usb-nFRAME controller to assure angular accuracy and repeatability to fractions of a degree. The usb-nFRAME software is fully ASCOM compliant for rotation control from higher level autofocus software as well as manually from your PC.

The usb-nFRAME adds a mere 25mm to the length to your imaging stack.

Natively M63 (male) threads on the telescope side, we can provide an adapter for M54 and M48 or other threads upon request.

On the camera side the usb-nFRAME accepts the common M54 thread of many quality field flatteners camera T adapters, T-thread spacers, off-axis guiders, filter wheels, imagers
