Hi do you know what size the dovetail is on the focuser side? If you had to get a precise parts adapter made do you know the exact size please? Cheers Curly
Seems precise parts allows you to build the adapters but doesn’t list the sizes. I know my 4” essato draw tube is m110 but no idea what size the arco fitting is. I make and anodise all my own adapters so want to make the adapter before the arco arrives then I’m not waiting months as you were. It costs me next to nothing to make an adapter. Thanks for your help.
I just installed the 3” ARCO. Even though all connections are tight, the the ARCO will move side-to-side. Is this normal, or should it not have movement? (Except when rotating!) Bill H
@@AstroWorldTV I just did the calibration. The focuser rocks side-to-side, as if the gears are not completely meshing. In the mount this would be backlash. This is a problem in both the on of off condition of the unit.
Great post - many thanks for doing this. I am about to set the ARCO up remotely and you've given me a lot more confidence about the process.
Nice new bit of kit!
Thanks!
Why am I forced to buy a focused..I just want to derogate my camera on a AZ mount? Can I just use it alone?
is the same zwo eco system, just working with primalucelab focus , i moved to Pegasus rotator

It’s for the 3” arco. Many thanks I appreciate you taking the time.

Did you calibrate through the Primaluce software called “play”?
@@AstroWorldTV yes, At least I think I did. At least I did the focuser. I will try it again.
You definitely have to do both and make sure firmware is updated
