The Most Compact, Low Profile Robotic Focuser
The ESATTO 2” low profile robotic focuser from PrimaLuceLab is compact and lightweight; it's special design allows you to connect it to, for instance, a Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope, without touching the primary mirror lock knobs or the manual focus knob. This way, with a body thickness of just 32mm, you can take advantage of a motorized focuser with 50.9mm free aperture that is able to carry up 5 kg (11 pounds) of imaging accessories.
Supports Best Performance of Your Telescope When Doing Astrophotography
The PrimaLuceLab ESATTO 2" LP low profile focuser comes with a USB-C port to let you easily connect to the EAGLE or standard Windows computer. It also comes with an ARCO port to let you add the optional ARCO rotator and field de-rotator, a 12V power port, temperature probe port, WiFi connectivity to let you control it through the Virtual HandPad, and dimmable status LEDs.
ESATTO 2LP Comes With PLAY, the Prima Luce Astrophotography Software
ESATTO 2” LP comes with PLAY, the astrophotography software developed by PrimaLuceLab in order to record beautiful pictures of the night sky in the simplest way, with the telescope, mount and other accessories you prefer! PLAY includes many features needed for astrophotography and it allows you to configure your telescope by selecting an OTA and mount provided with ASCOM drivers (tested with ASCOM platform 6.5 and later), control focus with ESATTO and, optionally, camera rotation with ARCO.
Use on Multiple Telescopes, Including the Celestron EdgeHD 8"
The special design of the ESATTO 2” low profile robotic focuser allows you to connect it to a wide range of telescopes, but it will also work beautifully with the Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope without touching the primary mirror lock knobs or the manual focus knob. This way, even if you add the optional Celestron 0.7x reducer (which reduces the back focus from 133mm to 105mm) you still have a lot of space to connect a camera and accessories, including the optional ARCO 2" camera rotator and field de-rotator! The ESATTO 2 LP includes a special port allowing the PrimaLuceLab ARCO, a camera rotator and field de-rotator, to be directly connected. With the optional ARCO, you can remotely control the rotation angle of your camera in order to achieve perfect framing of the object you want to record. If you have an alt-az mount, you can use ARCO to de-rotate the field without the need of an equatorial wedge! By connecting ESATTO 2” LP to ARCO 2” you will have a rotating focuser in just 54.2mm of thickness and 50.9mm of free aperture.

PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" Robotic Camera Rotator and Field De-Rotator
This PrimaLuceLab 2" low profile arc-second resolution rotator is known as the ARCO and is an incredibly precise camera rotator and field de-rotator! This precision is due to the resolution of 1 arc-second per step. This 2" version of the ARCO has a 20 mm thickness and a free aperture of 50.8 mm.
You can connect this 2" ARCO unit to the PrimaLuceLab ESATTO or SEST SENSO 2 using the special port, eliminating the need for other USB or 12V power cables. Please note: In order to use the ARCO, it has to be connected to the ESATTO microfocuser or the SESTO SENSO 2 focusing motor. It cannot be used alone. Once connected, you can remotely control the camera's rotation angle and de-rotate the field.
The body of the 2" ARCO camera rotator is designed from an aluminum case where all of the mechanical and electrical parts are contained within the chassis. This means that the ARCO is low profile and has no protruding parts that would touch the camera, telescope, or other accessories. The body comes with an M56x1 thread.
PrimaLuceLab has designed the 2" ARCO to come with Price Luce Astrophotography (PLAY) software. This software helps users get beautiful pictures of the night sky through their telescope and other astrophotography equipment. PLAY's included features allow users to configure the telescope by selecting the OTA and mount provided with ASCOM driver, control focus, and the ARCO's camera rotation. You can only use the PLAY software if you have the ESATTO focuser or SESTO SENSO 2 being used in conjunction with the ARCO camera rotator.
