Pegasus Motor Focus Kit for Refractors v3

New version 3. Same features, more powerful motor outputs in a compact size!
 
The Pegasus Universal Motor Focus Controller is a perfect match for visual astronomers and astro photographers.
 
The V3 controller supports full manual and digital operation for imaging or visual use. It's fully PC ASCOM compliant and the drivers are VERY easy to use and install compared to most focuser systems. The Pegasus software control system is considered to be one of the highest quality and most hassle-free commercial focusing solutions on the market today.
 
Simply order the Pegasus Motor Control Box and the corresponding Pegasus high resolution Stepper motor for your telescope listed below.
 
Pegasus motors are accurate, fast and powerful, with a high resolution, low backlash gearbox. 0,06 degree steps easily lift over 6Kg per cm. The High torque system easily moves heavy imaging equipment. The motor gearbox has low backlash, which can easily tuned out using backlash compensation in imaging software. An RJ45 socket pinout can be easily converted to a compatible pinout with Moonlite and Robofocus controllers.
 
While we recommend the Pegasus motors due to their extremely high quality, ultra-low backlash gearboxes, and high torque, you can even power almost any existing 12v DC Servo or Stepper focuser motors with the Pegasus Motor Focuser Controller.

After reading the descriptions below, choose your options in the dropdown menu above.
 
"Motor Control Box" - add the control box if you don't have one already, then choose a stepper motor kit to suit your telescope below. (If you already have a stepper or servo motor installed, and want a better control system we may be able to adapt it, please enquire).

Cable to connect the stepper motor to controller.

Dual Motor Focuser Features:

Just like using a manual focuser for visual observing or planetary imaging! A manual operation by utilising the digital encoder on the top of the controllersimulates the knob of your real focuser. Turn the knob just like the knob on your telescope’s focuser. If you press the knob, the speed of the motor will be reduced by 1/10 speed, just like the fine focuser knob found on most dual speed focusers.
 
Out of the box support for PC control. The controller can be operated by PC using its USB 2 connectivity.
 
Robofocus & Rigel USBnStep compatible connector pin out. Motor output is fully compatible with “Robofocus ©” pin out. Please contact Altair Astro for the special adapter cable.
 
Temperature compensation. An external digital temperature sensor input is located near the motor connector. A digital probe of one (1) meter length is supplied. The probe can be placed near the focuser so the exact temperature of the focuser / environment can be seen through the supplied software or ASCOM driver
 
DMFCv3 upports two motor types: DC Servo Motors and Unipolar Stepper Motors. It can drive relative and absolute position motors.
 
Dual mode motor selection switch. Mode can be instantly changed from ‘stepper’ to ‘dc’ motor with a switch on the unit.DC motors are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation or "duty cycle control". High Resolution Stepper motors are controlled by absolute position (most accurate method for focusing). A dual colour LED (Red/Green) indicates the focusing mode. The LED can be switched on or off in the software during an observing session.
 
Power cable included (in premium package.) 12v cable with male car-lighter socket.
 
Firmware upgrade support. Controller firmware supports reprogramming via the USB 2.0 connection using upgrade software, for future upgrades.
