Motor Focus Kit Zero (For SCTs)
>> Motor Focus Kit SCT has been replaced by the Motor Focus Kit Zero. Zero allows backlash free movement and is way faster than older motor
Focus accurate and fast your Celestron SCT telescope using our powerful Motor Focus Kit Zero. This fast and zero backlash stepper motor has the required torque to focus of your SCT telescope with great precision.
Pulley and Belt design allows the motor to stay away from your filter wheel (and not collide with it) when you use a focal reducer. Its sophisticated SCT bracket design (margarita style) can fit to all new Celestron SCTs (Classic / Edge) and RASA series.
Please note that you will also need a motor controller to drive this motor.
Products that can drive the Motor Focus Kit Zero are:
Dual Motor Focus Controller
Ultimate Powerbox v2 only (v1 is not compatible)
eXternal Motor Controller
Zero backlash stepper motor
Embedded bipolar stepper motor provides a zero backlash drive. Motor is very fast and allows you to quickly move from any focus point to another.
SCT Bracket
A special shaped black anodised aluminium bracket, hard to bend, can be attached to most of the Celestron SCT telescopes. We have successfully installed it on:
- Celestron Classic & EdgeHD 6, 8, 9.25 (SKU:PEG-MFKZERO-SCT68925)
- Celestron Classic & Edge HD 11 (SKU:PEG-MFKZERO-SCT11)
- Celestron Classic & Edge HD 14 (SKU:PEG-MFKZERO-SCT14)
- Celestron RASA 8 (SKU: PEG-MFKZERO-SCT68925)
- Cellestron RASA 11 (V2 – For V1 you will need Celestron Retrofit Kit & a Metal Flange: SKU: PEG-FLNG-SCT11) (SKU:PEG-MFKZERO-SCT11)
- Celestron RASA 14” (SKU:PEG-MFKZERO-SCT14)
Please note that some older SCT series are not compatible with the SCT bracket so contact us with a photo of your telescope focuser if you are not certain that your telescope can accept the SCT bracket.
SCT Bracket was designed to support Celestron SCT Telescopes. Although, we have seen that it perfectly fits on Meade SCT telescopes that have the round focus knob. Please check the image below if your Meade Telescope is the same as the photo’s. For more information please contact us.
