PrimaLuceLab Temperature sensor for ECCO, SESTO SENSO and ESATTO

The PrimaLuceLab Temperature Sensor is a specialized probe designed to integrate seamlessly with astrophotography systems using ECCO, SESTO SENSO, and ESATTO devices. It provides precise ambient temperature measurements to enable smart, automated compensation and control in focus and dew management systems.

Key Features

1. Wide Compatibility

   • Works with ECCO — the environmental computerized controller for the EAGLE — to monitor optics temperature. 

   • Compatible with SESTO SENSO and ESATTO robotic focusers to enable temperature-based focus compensation. 

2. Automatic Focus Compensation

   • When used with SESTO SENSO or ESATTO, the sensor helps adjust focus based on temperature changes. This reduces image softening caused by thermal expansion/contraction of optical components. 

   • Note: Focus-compensation requires third-party or external focusing software — the sensor does not include dedicated software for compensation. 

3. Dew Heater Management

   • Integrated with ECCO, the sensor enables the EAGLE to monitor the actual optics (lens) temperature, helping to regulate the power to dew heaters automatically. 

4. Compact, Durable Probe

   • Robustly built for night-sky use. (Inferred from PrimaLuceLab’s typical design quality.)

   • Easy to mount or place near your optics for accurate measurement.

5. Affordable & Lightweight Accessory

   • MSRP around $30. 

   • Small form factor — adds minimal weight or complexity to your imaging or focusing setup.

6. Model / Part Number

   • SESTOSENSO-TEMP is the SKU / reference for this sensor.

Use Cases

• Astrophotography (Focus): Compensate for changes in focus caused by temperature drift, especially useful for long imaging sessions and fast optical systems.

• Dew Control: When tied into ECCO (via EAGLE), dynamically adjust dew heater power based on real-time lens temperature, helping prevent dew without over-heating.

• Remote / Automated Setups: Ideal for observatory-style or remote rigs where manual intervention is limited, and intelligent control is required.
