EAF 5V version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the Electronic Automatic Focuser (EAF) from ZWO eliminates the 12V DC port, allowing the unit to transmit data and be powered through a single 5V USB 2.0 Type-B port. This means simpler setup and fewer tangled cords! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZWO 5V EAF is an electronic focuser that allows for dynamic, precise focus control for deep-sky and planetary imaging alike. A major benefit of this electronic automatic focuser is its highly integrated design and support for INDI, ASCOM drivers and software, ASIAIR and ASIStudio, automatic focusing, manual focusing with hand controller (sold separately), and a temperature sensor (sold separately). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to earlier versions of the ZWO EAF, the main advantage of the 5V USB is the elimination of the 12V power supply port. Not only does this allow for better cord management, but reduces power consumption and supply pressure when in remote settings. This unit receives power and transmits data through its single USB 2.0 port. A single separate auxiliary port supports either a temperature sensor or hand controller (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Standard EAF 5V USB 2.0 works with all capture software that is supported by the ASCOM platform. This can be added to the ASIAIR WiFi imaging and control system (sold separately) to complete the system and allow users to run their entire imaging sessions with a smartphone or tablet and can do so indoors, if they choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZWO EAF 5V USB 2.0 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 59 mm x 52 mm x 41 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: Step Motor: 35mm diameter; 7.5-degree step angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower\/Data Port: USB 2.0 Type-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 277g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 5kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: All-metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"\u003eSupport list:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam Optics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkyWatcher Astrophotography Reflectors, SkyWatcher Black Diamond, SkyWatcher Dobsonians, SkyWatcher Maksutov-Newtonians.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpStar telescopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkyRover telescopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTS Optics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstro Tech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeather Touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease be aware that not all models from the brands above are supported.  You can read the following instruction for the full supported list of telescopes and the different connection methods:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yuque.com\/zwopkb\/hardware\/eaf-support-list\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZWO EAF Compatible Focuser List \u0026amp; Connecting Methods\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore models will be supported in the future.

The cover cap also offers you the ability to quickly and easily acquire dark frames for imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re an astroimager who enjoys using your Schmidt-Cassegrain in the Fastar\/Hyperstar configuration, you’re probably used to running cables out the front of the dew shield. Simplify and streamline your setup with the Aluminum Dew Shield’s integrated cable management slot at the base. This slot gives you an easy way to corral essential cables (like the ones for our Dew Heater rings) without potentially allowing light pollution to leak in. Also, there are cutouts to accommodate dovetail rails on the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring a good fit regardless of the configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6\" SCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain tubes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte__table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-specs-list\" class=\"table-open\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody id=\"spec-block-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 lbs (.54 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5\" (190.5mm) diameter x 9.5\" (241.3mm) long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable slot dimensions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25\" (31.75mm) wide x 1.5\" (38.1mm) long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCover cap weight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 oz (90.7 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-single__vendor\"\u003eCelestron Dew Heater Ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: A separate dew heater controller and power source are required to utilize the heater ring.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater ring provides the most efficient heating directly to the corrector lens to prevent the formation of dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermanently mounts to your existing telescope tube for a seamless look—plus, you’ll never forget to bring it with you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated thermistor continuously monitors the temperature of the corrector lens when used with the Celestron Smart DewHeater Controllers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid, lightweight, and durable aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded storage clip and cable management clip keep your cables organized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron Dew Heater Ring is the ideal dew prevention solution for your Celestron telescope.

The ring also includes an extension cable for connecting the ring directly to one of the controllers’ heater output ports, or to a third-party controller’s heater output port.

Instead of a secondary mirror, the Mak features a “secondary spot” of reflective coating applied directly to the inside of the corrector plate. Because of this, the telescope does not require frequent collimation like a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Also, the secondary spot is significantly smaller than a traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain secondary mirror, giving the Mak its signature high-contrast views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important thing to note about Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes is that the larger, heavier Maksutov corrector plate takes longer to cool down and adjust to ambient air temperature compared to a Schmidt-Cassegrain of the same aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStarBright XLT Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarBright XLT is Celestron’s revolutionary optical coating system that outperforms any other coating in the commercial telescope market.

It is a welded steel framework made from NC laser cut steel. It provides four main functions. It provides the primary mirror cell, the altitude bearings, the connection points for the truss poles, and a retainer for the wheelbarrow handles. To keep it as ultra compact as possible, the side bearing portion is foldable to reduce the height of the VMB by half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\"\u003eIn the transport mode the clearance height is a mere 14 inches. Or place the VMB (Virtual Mirror Box) next to the rocker in your car and reduce the height even more. Now everyone can have a big aperture scope and take it to their dark sky site. This telescope will appeal to those that like the ultimate in form follows function style. Lower eyepiece height means 90% of observing will be done with your feet on the ground. The UC is all black with a modern space frame construction. If your vehicle is small or you intend to put it in the trunk, then the Ultra Compact is the obvious choice.
