Description
A must have for successful astrophotography sessions
Focus fast, reliable, and accurate your telescope by using the “FocusCube 2“. The evolution of technology in astronomy requires a system that will assist the focusing of the telescope with great accuracy.
Fast optics and modern camera devices require automatic focusing in every small period of time as the temperature can affect the focal length and modify the optimal focus position. Pegasus FocusCube has been developed to meet all of these requirements.
Successful installation to following telescopes
We have succesfully installed the Universal L bracket to the following focusers
Lifts more than 6kg (13 lbs) of imaging equipment when telescope point to zenith
FocusCube has a very low backlash and high torque suitable to focus in micron scale.
Due to its high resolution and torque, the FocusCube should be placed on the coarse knob / direct shaft of your telescope focuser
High resolution Geared Stepper Motor in an aluminum enclosure
Designed in a high-quality CNC body with modern electronics, FocusCube provides digital precise focus control, for absolute position focusing.
Solid motor couplers in package
Five solid, different bore size, motor couplers are provided so you can select the coupler that fits to your focuser’s shaft. Choose between 4mm to 8mm couplers
Universal Bracket
We have designed the L-shaped bracket to easily fit onto most focusers in the market. The lower part of the redesigned bracket can be replaced with a slimmer rail (included) for better compatibility with Newtonian and other low-profile focusers. This L-shaped black anodized aluminum bracket is hard to bend, has cut rails, and can be attached to a wide range of focusers.
Accurate and repeatable focus v-curves
FocusCube v2 is fully compatible with all modern imaging suites, NINA, SGPro, Voyager, APT. MaximDL etc.
Autofocus by using a v-curve model is a piece of cake operation
V-Curve Results are accurate and repeatable each time the autofocus routine is triggered
A focus run and forget operation
