SESTO SENSO 2 robotic focusing motor Primalucelab

SESTO SENSO 2 Primalucelab robotic focusing motor.

SESTO SENSO 2: the highly accurate, advanced, vibration-free robotic focusing motor for your telescope! Connect it to the USB port of your EAGLE or Windows® computer to electronically control focus while allowing you to manually move the focuser manually if needed. If you don't want to focus using a computer, you can connect wirelessly from any smartphone or tablet using the integrated Virtual HandPad via the SESTO SENSO 2's built-in Wifi network! Thanks to the self-centering clamp (SCC) technology, SESTO SENSO 2 can be installed on most focusers without the need for external brackets. The supplied FOCUS Manager software and ASCOM controller allow easy configuration of the many advanced features of SESTO SENSO 2. Thanks to the precision-controlled motor with integrated electronics, SESTO SENSO 2 achieves an incredible accuracy of only 0.7 microns.

Building on the success of the previous generation motor PrimaLuceLab introduced in 2017, SESTO SENSO 2 adds even more new features. SESTO SENSO 2 incorporates in a single housing (87.5 x 64 x 43 mm) all the elements that comprise a motorized focusing system but, thanks to the great designers at PrimaLuceLab, includes many new features:

• • • • • USB-C port to connect to any standard computer or USB EAGLE port: the USB-C port is a more robust and reliable connection and is also reversible, allowing for easier connections in the dark
        • Integrated WiFi connection with Virtual HandPad: if you don't want to use a computer to control your telescope's focuser, you can use your smartphone or tablet connected to the SESTO SENSO 2 WiFi network to control it with the Virtual HandPad
        • Self-Centering Clamp (SCC) technology to connect to focusers without external brackets: easily connect to most focusers (optional adapters are available for other focusers if needed) with the bushings included in the box, improved over the previous version
        • Dimmable LED lights: the LED lights on the SESTO SENSO 2 body are dimmable and can even be turned off completely. This way, you can reduce the light output if you prefer during astrophotography or visual use.
        • Compatible with the ARCO camera rotator: SESTO SENSO 2 now comes with an ARCO port to easily connect the ARCO camera rotator without the need for additional data or power cables

SESTO SENSO 2 integrates all control electronics into a single compact housing with its ports on the side. In the top area you will find the dimmable status LEDs that can even be switched off for better light management at night. Below the LEDs, you will find the USB-C port for connecting SESTO SENSO 2 to an EAGLE or other Windows® computer using the cable provided, the ARCO port for powering and controlling the optional ARCO camera rotator with a single cable, the 12V power supply port that powers the motor and integrated electronics using the cigarette lighter power cable provided (an optional cable is also available to power it directly from the EAGLE) and the optional temperature sensor port that allows (using third party software) automatic focus adjustment procedures to be performed with ambient temperature variation.

Control it via USB-C from EAGLE or from any Windows® computer with a standard USB port. SESTO SENSO 2 comes with a robust USB-C port to connect to the USB port of your EAGLE or any Windows® computer (cable included), and control it via FOCUSER Manager software or ASCOM driver. SESTO SENSO 2 uses a USB-C port that provides greater reliability with its reversible plug: you can connect the USB cable in any orientation, avoiding problems when connecting in the dark.

Control via WiFi, from any smartphone or tablet via the Virtual HandPad - SESTO SENSO 2 now has built-in WiFi remote control capability so you can control it from any smartphone or tablet, without the need for a computer! Simply connect your device to the SESTO SENSO 2's WiFi network and launch the app. You will be able to control the focuser using the dedicated Virtual HandPad. Thanks to convenient presets, you can easily record and move the focuser to specific preset positions - great for visual use too! WiFi control works even if SESTO SENSO 2 is also connected to a computer so you can control it simultaneously from 2 devices.

Easily attaches to most focusers thanks to its self-centering clamp (SCC) without the need for external brackets.

SESTO SENSO 2 does not require any external brackets to attach to focusers: just remove the fine and coarse knobs of your focuser and it will reveal an axis. SESTO SENSO 2 is designed to fit a 25 mm shaft diameter, common to most focusers on the market (optional adapters are available for focusers with shaft diameters of 33 or 37 mm; other diameters are not currently supported). SESTO SENSO 2 uses a new shaft connection bushing, improved over the previous generation, which has been designed to accommodate different focusers more easily. Another advantage of SCC technology is that you can always use the manual (coarse) knobs on your focuser, even if SESTO SENSO 2 is installed (if you move the focuser by hand, to control the focuser again with SESTO SENSO, you only need to manually bring the focuser to the minimum position and press the "Set position as 0" button to recalibrate it). SESTO SENSO is compatible with many telescopes, such as (but not limited to these):

• • • • • SkyWatcher EVOSTAR 72 ED, 80 ED, 100 ED and 120 ED
        • SkyWatcher ESPRIT 80 ED, 100 ED and 120 ED
        • SkyWatcher Newton 200 mm and 250 mm, f / 4 and f / 5
        • Takahashi FSQ85
        • Takahashi FSQ106
        • Telescopes with Baader SteelTrack® Focuser
        • Telescopes with 2" FeatherTouch focuser (3" and 3.5" models require optional 33mm or 37mm adapter)
        • GSO Ritchey-Chretien with 2" and 3" focusers
        • TS-Optics TSED80F7 (with optional 33mm adapter)
        • TS-Optics TSApo60f6RED (with optional 33mm adatper)
        • TS-Optics TSAPO72F6 (with optional 33 mm adapter)
        • TS-Optics TLAPO804 (with optional 33 mm adatper)
        • TS-Optics TS71SDQ
        • TS-Optics TS86SDQ

SESTO SENSO 2 can be used with many different telescopes, such as Newtonian, refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrain (and aplanatic versions) with external manual focusers. If you are looking for a motorized focuser for your SC / RC type telescope and have not yet installed an external focuser, we suggest our ESATTO focuser with high load capacity, integrated motor and the same advanced electronic control found in the SESTO SENSO 2.

Connect via a single cable to ARCO to remotely control the camera rotator. SESTO SENSO 2 includes a special port that allows you to directly connect ARCO, the camera rotator. With ARCO, you can remotely control the rotation angle of your camera to achieve perfect framing of the object you want to record. SESTO SENSO 2 and ARCO are designed to work together: you only need a short interconnection between the two!

It is a compact and lightweight device, with no need for external controllers. SESTO SENSO 2 includes in a single compact package (dimensions 87.5 x 64 x 43 mm) both the motor and the control electronics, all with the excellent design you expect from PrimaLuceLab. The housing is made from a single block of aluminum (SESTO SENSO 2 weight is 380 grams), CNC machined, with a beautiful red anodized finish. The top of the SESTO SENSO 2 is made of rigid plastic to allow the WiFi antenna to work better for easier remote control.
