Once installed on the optical tube assembly (OTA), the unit plugs into the auxiliary port on your Celestron mount for power, allowing it to be controlled using its NexStar+ or StarSense computer hand controller running the current firmware version. If your mount isn't compatible with it, you can opt to control the focus motor from a laptop with the addition of an optional USB cable or 12 VDC power adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelpful for visual observation and indispensable for astrophotography, a precise DC servo motor delivers three speeds—low 8°\/sec, medium 32°\/sec, high 128°\/sec—without vibration or noise. Using an electric focuser eliminates the need to touch knobs, which cause vibration, and allows a level of precision that hand focusing is usually unable to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use many types of astronomy telescope control software that have focuser control by using the Celestron Unified ASCOM mount driver that is available as a free download. Celestron also offers a free download for Windows that will enable direct control of the focus motor without the need for an ASCOM driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionHeaders js-hiddenFeatures\" data-selenium=\"sectionHeaders\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"js-featureSectionDL\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"featureTitle\"\u003eCompatible Optical Tubes:\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"c28\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll 6-14\" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrains (SCTs) produced after 2006 (exceptions: 5\" SCT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Edge HD telescopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRASA 8\", RASA 36cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\" Maksutov-Cassegrain (MAK) telescopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with the 11\" RASA, but requires the optional Focuser Retrofit Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19711791300704,"sku":"94155","price":501.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/1859\/products\/1572536233_1512120.jpg?v=1761828332","url":"https:\/\/www.jacobsdigital.co.nz\/en-au\/products\/celestron-focus-motor-for-sct-and-edgehd-otas","provider":"Jacobs Digital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
