The ESATTO 2” low profile robotic focuser is compact and lightweight; its special design allow you to connect it also to Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope without touching the primary mirror lock knobs and the manual focus knob. This way, with a body thickness of just 32mm, you can take advantage of a motorized focuser with 50.9mm free aperture that is able to carry up 5 kg of imaging accessories.
ESATTO 2” LP comes with PLAY, the astrophotography software developed by PrimaLuceLab in order to record beautiful pictures of the night sky in the simpler way and with the telescope, mount and other accessories you prefer! PLAY includes many features needed for astrophotography and it allows you to configurate your telescope by selecting the OTA and mount provided with ASCOM drivers (tested with ASCOM platform 6.5 and later), control focus with ESATTO or SESTO SENSO 2 and camera rotation with ARCO. In order to use PLAY you have to have at least ESATTO focuser or SESTO SENSO 2 focusing motor and, if you install PLAY in the EAGLE computer, it automatically adds more advanced features!
The special design of the ESATTO 2” low profile robotic focuser allows you to connect it also to Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope without touching the primary mirror lock knobs and the manual focus knob. This way, even if you add the optional 0.7x reducer (that reduces backfocus from 133mm to 105mm) you still have a lot of space to connect camera and accessories, also if you want to add the ARCO 2" camera rotator and field de-rotator!
ESATTO includes a special port allowing ARCO, the camera rotator and field de-rotator, to be directly connected. With ARCO, you can remotely control the rotation angle of your camera in order to achieve perfect framing of the object you want to record. If you have an alt-az mount, you can use ARCO to de-rotate the field without the need of an equatorial wedge! By connecting ESATTO 2” LP to ARCO 2” you will have a rotating focuser in just 54.2mm of thickness and 50.9mm of free aperture.
