I thought you are building a “double vision” system. Upper scope for OSC, bottom scope for Lum. OAG for guiding. Accumulating data twice faster. Couple more double vision systems, such as TOA 150mm with TEC 160mm; and another PlaneWave 14” CDK with Nauris 16” CDK and you are set. 😅
No - but if you have any questions, I found emailing support at Pegasus Astro to be very responsive. I ended up removing the brake screw on the bottom of the focuser and mounting the L-bracket to that. With the Focus Cube 2, the motor has very high torque, and you will no longer need the brake screw. The focus motor mounts to the shaft of one of the focus knobs once removed. The coupler has Allen screws on both sides - make sure you tighten them both - I did not realize there were two, and I ended up seeing bizarre backlash artifacts that went away when both were tightened down!
Love that scope mover, beats the heck out of tearing everything down at the end of a session.
It sure does!
Such a brilliant setup, and what a great way to move the telescope. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you liked it!
Great video Pat, very informative. I hope all is well with you.
Hi Mike! So nice to hear from you! I am doing well at the moment and hope you are too!
All the best,
Pat
Thanks for the video. Some great ideas here!
Thank you Pat! I appreciate the comment!

I would like to add a pegasus focuser to my FLT132 any special requirements or equipment?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
