Pyxis 3 inch Rotator

Pyxis 3" rotator with serial cable, RJ45 to DB9 adapter, custom power cable with low profile right angle DC plug and 2.5mm lockable DC plug. The low profile RA plug is mandatory if the filter/camera swinging around behind the rotator is a large enough diameter to intercept the power connector!

You will need to supply 12V with maximum draw ~1A. The unit can be used with up to 15V for higher torque, but not required IMO. This item was being used at my observatory in Arkaroola, it worked great but now has been replaced with an integrated focuser/rotator, the Planewave IRF90.

[SOLD] $1700 + shipping

I still have these adapters (left to right in picture):
80$ #17828 - PlaneWave CDK Low Profile to OPTEC-3600 Dovetail Mount
80$ custom Precise Parts - Low profile (5mm backfocus) MMOAG adapter
70$ #17806 - 3" Drawtube Adapter To SBIG STL Camera Mount
80$ #17804 - 3" Drawtube Adapter To 2" Reducer Bushing With Compression Ring

The adapters can be sold separately.
