This FocusDreamPROII upgrade kit is designed to upgrade the focusing units of SCT, MAC Celestron and MAC SkyWatcher, ORION telescopes.  The kit is used for manual and automatic focusing, as well as for automatic maintenance of precise focus depending on changes in ambient temperature. The FocusDreamPRO upgrade kit is based on the new FocusDreamPROII focuser controller.

 

The belt connection of the stepper motor to the focuser shaft ensures a complete absence of backlash, smooth and precise focusing.

 

ATTENTION: The dimensions of some parts included in the kit may differ for different types of the specified telescopes. Therefore, in the order note, be sure to indicate the model of your telescope.

 

FocusDreamPROII is a new version of the control unit (controller) for the stepper motor of electric focusers. It is designed for manual and automatic focusing process, as well as automatically maintaining accurate focus depending on changes in ambient temperature. The main differences from the previous version are:
- increased stepper motor current, which allows the use of 3 times more powerful stepper motors,
- no noise operation of the stepper motor
- the ability to work autonomously using a hand-held joystick, without connecting to a PC.
- also thanks to a special algorithm for saving electrical energy consumption, a small 12V battery can be used to power the control unit.

 

The FocusDreamPROII controller allows focusing in manual and automatic mode directly from a PC, using standard astronomical programs such as: NINA, APT, AGP, Voyager and other programs that support the ASCOM platform in the focusing section.
