PrimaLuceLab ARCO 2" Robotic Rotator
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.
