Deep Sky Dad AF3 Motorized Focuser: Advanced and User-Friendly Focusing Solution
Key Features:
-
Upgraded Autofocuser Technology: The AF3 is the latest iteration in the Deep Sky Dad autofocuser series, incorporating new technology and user feedback from the AF1/AF2 models.
-
Stealth Drive Feature: Designed with a stealth drive for minimal noise and vibration, enhancing the astrophotography experience.
-
Precise Microstepping Control: Offers refined and accurate movement with microstepping capability down to 1/256 for detailed focusing adjustments.
-
Optimized Enclosure Design: The enclosure has been redesigned for easier assembly, while maintaining compatibility with all existing adapters.
-
ASCOM/INDI Compatibility: Ensures seamless integration with popular astronomy software platforms, including ASCOM and INDI.
-
Simple and Efficient Mounting: Directly connects the motor pulley to the microfocusing knob for an unobtrusive and straightforward setup.
-
Compact and Balanced Mounting: The focuser's design allows for a more compact mounting, avoiding the protrusion often seen in shaft mounting.
-
Low-Force Motor Requirements: Due to the minimal force needed for microfocusing, the motor is small and efficient, eliminating the need for a gearbox.
-
Safe Focuser Operation: The motor's design ensures it is not strong enough to damage focuser parts, as it will skip steps instead of exerting excessive force, preventing potential damage to the focuser or its components.
-
Customization Options: Includes various features like speed control, custom step size, and current control, with optional hand controller and temperature probe.
-
Compact Dimensions: Available in three sizes - AF3: 44.5mm x 48.5mm x 50.2mm, AF3s: 44.5mm x 48.5mm x 66.2mm, and AF3s : 44.5mm x 48.5mm x 88.2mm, accommodating different astrophotography setups.
