Pegasus Astro: Pegasus Astro Dual Motor Focus Controller v3
Focus fast, reliable and accurate your telescope using a stepper or DC motor and our controller.

Version3: Same features, more powerful motor outputs, in a very compact size!

Hint: You can get the controller as a set with our Motor Focus Kit or Motor Focus Kit SCT

Dual Motor Focus brings a decade of experience in astrophotography and telescope focusing concepts. The evolution of technology in astronomy requires a system which will assist the focusing of the telescope with great accuracy. Fast optics and modern camera devices require automatic focusing in every small period of time as temperature can affect focal length and modify the optimal focus position. Pegasus Dual Motor Focus Controller (DMFC) has been developed to meet these requirements.

Dual mode
The Dual Motor Focus Controller supports two kind of motor types.

High Resolution Stepper motors (unipolar and bipolar) for absolute position focusing.
DC motors by its Pulse Width Modulation duty cycle control.
Controller can switch motor mode from its software, Mode can be instantly changed (with one mouse click) from ‘stepper’ to ‘dc’ motor and saved in controller’s EEPROM memory.

Manual and PC operation.
The controller can be operated by PC using its USB2 connectivity. A manual operation by utilising the digital encoder on the side of the controller simulates the knob of your real focuser. Turn the knob as it is the knob of your telescope’s focuser. If you press it, speed of the motor will be reduced to 1:10.

Dual Colour Indicator
A dual colour light emitted diode (Green / Yellow) is fitted on the side of the unit. Each colour indicates speed and the led can be turned on or off by its software during an observing session. Keep it pressed to disable the knob.

Robofocus compatible connector pin out
Motor output is fully compatible with “Robofocus ©” pin out. Output can drive most of the motors in the market. Take a look in our F.A.Q tab.

Temperature Probe
An external digital temperature sensor input is located near the motor connector. A digital probe of one (1) meter length is supplied. The probe can be placed near the focuser so the exact temperature of the focuser / environment can be seen through the supplied software or ASCOM driver (probe always included in package)

Backlash Compensation
Controller can compensate the backlash you might encounter in your system. Although our motor has very low backlash other setups might need this feature. Backlash compensation is supported from a function inside controller’s firmware.

ASCOM compliant
The controller is fully compatible with latest ASCOM 6 and can easily be controlled from a computer.

INDI (Open Astronomy Instrumentation) compliant
Pegasus DMFC driver is included with libindi >= 1.5.1

Standalone program support
The controller can be operated by the standalone DMFC software. (Only available for Windows OS)

Firmware upgrade support
Controller firmware supports re-programming via the USB 2.0 connection using upgrade software, for future upgrades which may become available. We constantly receive feedback from our customers and keep updating the firmware and software with new features.

Two Years warranty
Warranty covers the controller device including the temperature sensor.

$116.87 CAD ~~$155.82 CAD~~

On sale

Pegasus Astro:

EZY Focus Hand Controller for UPBv2 and Prodigy
The EZY Focus Hand Controller is a perfect match for your Ultimate Powerbox v2 or Prodigy Microfocuser. This little device allows precision control of your motorized focuser. It also ensures a vibration free focus routine!

Digital Encoder with a Push button
The rotary knob simulates the knob of your focuser. Rotate the digital knob and easily focus! Precision can be achieved when you press the knob inside. Speed is reduced to 1:10 just like the fine focus knob of your focuser! Click it again to switch to coarse focus.

Pushbuttons to Focus IN and OUT
Two additional buttons “<< and >>” allows you to move the focuser IN or OUT by the exact and preconfigured step count you have set in the EZY Focus menu. Every time you press the button an audible beep confirms the motor movement.

Can work simultaneously with PC motor operation
Just plug the hand controller in the EXT port of the Ultimate Powerbox v2 or Prodigy Microfocuser and enjoy precision in manual focusing without vibrations. No need to remove the hand controller when you use your PC to control the motor. Both can work in parallel and sync motor position in screen.

Organic LED display with Red Film
A 1.3 inch 128 x 64 pixel Organic LED (red film) screen is used for the device. It will ensure that your night vision will be unaffected.
Large fonts, Legible letters displaying motor position, motor position presets and settings menu
Temperature and Humidity Sensor.
EZY Focus has an embedded high accuracy temperature and relative humidity sensor. The Ultimate Powerbox v2 automatically uses this sensor discarding the stock UPBv2 sensor.

EZY Focus and sensor is discovered in the Ultimate Powerbox v2 software and displays readings just like your stock sensor.
Bright adjustable red LED light
A large red colored LED is placed in the front of the device, allowing you to use the “EZY Focus Hand Controller” as an astronomical map red light. LED’s brightness can be configured from the device menu.
Compact size
Dimensions: 113mm x 46mm x 25mm , Weight 90 grams
