Essentially "New" OPTEC focusing solution for the large TEC Focuser.
This is the "direct drive" solution. I have tested this focuser extensively and it works perfectly. It is a bipole motor with 1.25 micron/step resolution (65,535 steps). It will lift 12kg and also allows for very easy manual focus. A simple twist of the motor allows coarse and fine focus from the right side of the focuser. Installation is extremely easy! Basically you remove the large coarse focuser knob from the left side, insert the small gear and attach the motor with 2 screws. Finished.
Kit consists of everything shown in the photo;
19776 Direct Synch Motor with allen wrench, gear, 2 screws
19690 FocusLynx Controller Hub* with universal power supply, 12 power cable, hub/motor cable, USB/serial cable
+ Software disc & installation instructions.
+ Full transferable warranty! (I will provide email from Optec confirming)
I paid AU$822.50 including shipping from the USA (May 20, 2014).
I will sell for AU$575.00 + actual shipping cost. Or pick up for free (Sydney area Northern Beaches)
Feel free to contact me if there are any additional questions. The only reason I am selling this kit is because I may eventually require a focuser with an even greater weight capacity than this one. It had no difficulty whatsoever lifting my ONAG + Guide Camera + G2-8300 CCD.

* This hub has the ability to control 2 focusers with the addition of another internal board available from Optec (or Starlight). It will control unipole motors (such as Microtouch) and bipole motors.
