PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 4″ Robotic Focuser
Target Use: Observatory-class telescopes or astrographs with large imaging trains needing a high-capacity, high-precision motorised focuser.
Why it stands out: Designed for demanding astrophotography setups with large sensors, heavy filter wheels, OAGs, etc., where free aperture, travel, stability and precision all matter.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Large free aperture: 102.2 mm (≈4″) — supports wide fields / large imaging trains without vignetting.
-
Substantial draw-tube travel: 35 mm of travel.
-
High payload capacity: up to 10 kg (≈22 lb) of imaging train mass, meaning heavy cameras + accessories are supported without sag or flexure.
-
Exceptional resolution: ≈0.04 microns per motor step, enabling extremely fine focusing adjustment necessary for high magnification / long-exposure astrophotography.
-
Crayford‐style mechanism with 40 ball bearings, engineered for very high load capacity with minimal flex.
-
Modern connectivity: USB-C port for direct connection to control computer (or control system like an all-in-one device such as the PrimaLuceLab EAGLE), WiFi capability for smartphone/tablet remote control via the “Virtual HandPad” app.
-
Integrated port for the optional camera rotator/field de-rotator unit (e.g., the ARCO series) allowing seamless combination of focuser and rotator with simplified cabling.
-
Designed for large telescopes/astrographs — for example the manufacturer cites the popular large-aperture astrograph Takahashi FSQ-106 as a target application.
