With the focus motor installed, you can bring celestial objects into sharp, precise focus using your telescope’s hand controller or a computer instead of using the focuser knob. A focus motor is great for visual observers who want to dial in exact focus (especially those with dexterity issues) and a must-have accessory for astroimagers. With a motorized focuser installed, an astroimager no longer needs to be physically near the telescope to focus an image. Combined with computerized control of the mount and camera, the focus motor enables the imager to gather data remotely from a backyard observatory, or even a telescope located hundreds of miles away. As an added bonus, port covers protect the ports while not in use, and the covers cannot be lost due to the tethered design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Optical Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focus motor is compatible with all SCTs from 6” to 14” in aperture that have been produced since the year 2006.
