You will need a user supplied USB A-to-B cable. If you are not using a Celestron mount, you can power and control the focus motor from a computer USB port. This allows control from the mount’s hand controller (NexStar+ or StarSense) or a computer. When using a Celestron computerized mount, you can power and control the focus motor through the mount using the supplied AUX cable. There are three options for powering your Celestron Focus Motor: It can also be used with the 11” RASA, but requires the Focuser Retrofit Kit for RASA 11. It is compatible with all EdgeHD optical tubes, the 8” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), the 36cm RASA, and the 7” Maksutov-Cassegrain. It is not compatible with 5” SCTs or older models. The focus motor is compatible with all SCTs from 6” to 14” in aperture ( now including the 9.25" EdgeHD) that have been produced since the year 2006. As an added bonus, port covers protect the ports while not in use, and the covers cannot be lost due to the tethered design. Combined with computerized control of the mount and camera, the focus motor enables the imager to gather data remotely from a backyard observatory, or even a telescope located hundreds of miles away. With a motorized focuser installed, an astroimager no longer needs to be physically near the telescope to focus an image. A focus motor is great for visual observers who want to dial in exact focus (especially those with dexterity issues) and a must-have accessory for astroimagers. With the focus motor installed, you can bring celestial objects into sharp, precise focus using your telescope’s hand controller or a computer instead of using the focuser knob. The Focus Motor for SCT & EdgeHD provides electronic focusing for Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and EdgeHD telescope optical tubes. Losmandy Mount Accessories, Spares & Upgradesīrand new updated model which is now compatible with the 9.25" EdgeHD series!.I help with some algorithms, testing and specifications. She is a brilliant programmer and Linux expert. For several years I have been working with my partner Nicola on AstroDMx Capture. I give lectures to astronomical societies. evening classes for several years, but am now, largely retired. I taught astronomy at the University of Swansea in D.A.C.E. I also write books, astronomical articles, short-stories and poetry. I am also a member of the Society for Popular Astronomy and the BAA, I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the European Astronomical Society. I am a member of the Swansea, Port Talbot and Barry Astronomical Societies. My interest is in getting as much as possible out of as little as possible. I founded the international astronomical imaging group QCUIAG in 1998. I am a retired Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at Swansea University and have been an astronomer since 1967.
