Starlight Instruments Posi Drive Motor System

The Posi Drive Motor System is designed to be highly adaptable, but because it is configured to order, it requires specific mechanical measurements of your current focuser. You will need to provide these details during the ordering process to ensure the mounting hardware and coupling are compatible with your setup.

Yes, this system is specifically designed for astrophotography. It allows for precise, hands-free focusing, which eliminates the vibrations caused by manual adjustments and helps you achieve the critical focus required for sharp, high-resolution images.

Installation involves attaching the motor housing and coupling it to your existing focuser's shaft. Because this is a custom-fit product, the installation process is straightforward but requires careful attention to the mechanical measurements you provided during the ordering phase.

It depends on your specific focuser configuration, but generally, the motor is designed to work in tandem with your existing focuser. In many cases, you can still use the manual knobs when the motor is disengaged, though the primary goal of this system is to handle all focusing tasks electronically.

The Posi Drive Motor System is compatible with most standard telescope control software that supports ASCOM or similar drivers. This allows you to integrate it into your existing imaging workflow for automated focus routines.
