Product description

More about the series FocusCube...

Focus fast, reliable and accurate your telescope by using the FocusCube

The evolution of technology in astronomy requires a system which 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 temperature can affect focal length and modify the optimal focus position. Pegasus FocusCube has been developed to meet these requirements.

Designed in high quality with modern electronics it can provide digital precise focus control from a PC.

FocusCube includes a stepper motor for absolute position focusing. Electronics and stepper motor are enclosed in a compact sized box.

Do not be fooled by its size! This device can easily lift more than 6kg of imaging equipment when the telescope points to the zenith!

This stepper motor is a high resolution geared stepper motor (Step Angle 7.5, Deg 120, Gear Ration 1:120). Its gearbox has very low backlash and high torque suitable to focus in micron scale!

You only need this device to focus! Attach the FocusCube to your refractor / reflector/ SCT telescope, plug the power and a USB cable, download ASCOM drivers or standalone software and you are ready to go!

More features:

  • Two bracket versions: You can select Universal bracket which fits to most focusers in the market or the Celestron SCT Bracket (SC, EdgeHD, RASA)
  • Temperature Probe: An external digital temperature sensor input is located near the motor connector. A digital probe of one meter length is supplied. The probe can be placed near the focuser so the exact temperature of the environment can be seen through the supplied software or ASCOM driver (probe always included in package)
  • ASCOM support: The controller is fully compatible with ASCOM 6.
  • INDI (Open Astronomy Instrumentation) compliant: Pegasus driver is included with libindi >= 1.5.1, official Indi Driver : http://indilib.org/devices/focusers/pegasus-dmfc.html
  • Standalone program supported: The controller can be operated by the standalone software. (Only available for Windows)
  • USB cable included: A 1.8m USB Type B cable is included in the standard package.
  • Firmware upgrade support: Controller firmware supports re-programming via the USB 2.0 connection using upgrade software, for future upgrades which may become available.

Important Note: FocusCube is a standalone device and includes controller functionality. No physical hand controller is included or required. The RJ45 port is for the temperature probe.

Customer reviews

ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH 9.25" SCT AND SMALLER!

Review by M. L. on 07.06.2019 21:35:26

( 4 / 5 )

I thought I may as well leave this as a review and hopefully save someone else the headache I currently have.

This product is only compatible with the 9.25" and smaller EdgeHD/SCT scopes. There is a separate kit for each of the 11" and 14", as both the bolts used to affix the motor to the telescope are of different sizes, as is the focus shaft:

C6,C8,C9.25 have a 13mm shaft, m3x16mm bolts
C11 has a 22mm shaft, m3x30mm bolts
C14 also has a 22mm shaft, but m4x40mm bolts

I hope this saves someone else having to write emails and be told that "they ordered the wrong product". Yes, I did, but only because the description here is woefully inadequate.

4* as I'm sure it's perfectly adequate, but I can't make any comment either way, having been unable to use it.
