With the Bluetooth motor focus, you can conveniently control your motor focus from your PC via Bluetooth without having to touch the telescope: no more wobbling, no more cables to trip over!
Simply plug the Bluetooth motor focus in place of the handbox and connect it to your laptop/PC via Bluetooth. This eliminates the need for a cable connection to the motor focuser. Using freely available software (e.g. Bahtinovgrabber), you can now control your motor focus from the comfort of your seat or even from your office.
The Bluetooth motor focus has two control buttons so that you can still focus manually as with your original handbox.
Suitable for the following motor focusers:
- Skywatcher / Orion motor focus
- TS motor focus
- Moonlite motor focus (with optional adaptors)
System requirements: PC with Windows 2000 or higher. Internal Bluetooth or BT stick, data-enabled SPP protocol, possibly Ascom platform + Ascom driver (depending on the program)
After connecting and installing the driver, simply select the correct COM port.
Programs that do not support direct LX200 commands (e.g. Bartinovgrabber) but support Ascom can also be operated with this device. Requires at least Ascom 5.5 or higher, Meade LX200 Classic driver
Operates with a 9V block battery, not included!
