The PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2″ Low-Profile (LP) focuser paired with the ARCO 2″ rotator offers a sophisticated, integrated solution for astrophotographers who want motorized control of both focus and camera rotation — all in a compact, space-efficient form. This combo is especially valuable in setups with tight back-focus (like SCTs / EdgeHD), while still delivering high precision and stability.
Key Features
1. Compact Low Profile Focuser
-
The ESATTO 2″ LP has a super-slim body thickness of just 32 mm, allowing installation even in tight spaces without interfering with mirror-lock knobs or other mechanisms.
-
Provides a large 50.9 mm clear aperture, making it compatible with heavy imaging gear (filter wheels, large cameras) without significant vignetting.
-
Capable of carrying up to 5 kg of payload, thanks to a Crayford-style design with 18 ball bearings (inherited from the standard ESATTO).
-
Offers 10 mm of travel with ultra-fine resolution (≈ 0.03 microns per step) for exquisitely precise focusing.
2. Integrated Connectivity & Control
-
Equipped with a USB-C port, allowing reliable, high-speed connection to a Windows PC, EAGLE controller, or other compatible hardware.
-
Wi-Fi built in — lets you control focus remotely via the PrimaLuceLab “Virtual HandPad” app on your smartphone or tablet.
-
Temperature-probe port included, enabling real-time ambient readings for active focus compensation.
-
Status LEDs are dimmable or can be turned off, minimizing stray light during imaging.
3. High-Precision Rotator (ARCO 2″)
-
The ARCO 2″ rotator (included in this bundle) connects directly to the ESATTO LP via a dedicated port — no separate USB or 12 V power cable needed.
-
Offers 1 arc-second resolution per step, allowing very fine control for framing or field de-rotation.
-
Ultra-thin design: just 20 mm thick, keeping the overall optical train compact.
-
50.9 mm clear aperture, matching the focuser’s drawtube so as not to restrict the light path.
-
Robust, full-aluminum housing supports heavy cameras and accessories without flexure.
-
Supports ASCOM drivers and integrates with PrimaLuceLab’s PLAY software, enabling synchronized focusing and rotation control.
4. Minimal Train Length
-
When the ESATTO 2″ LP and ARCO 2″ are connected, the total thickness is only 54.2 mm, making this one of the most compact motorized focuser + rotator systems available.
-
Because of its low profile, it frees up enough back focus to accommodate reducers or additional imaging gear.
