Focus Cube V3 Features

Adjustable Universal Bracket for Seamless Integration with Any Telescope:  This well designed bracket has custom made holes and rails, allowing you to attach the FocusCube 3 to most any telescope.  Whether you have a refractor, a reflector, or any other scope type, the Pegasus FocusCube 3 bracket will get the job done.

USB & WiFi Connection:  A single USB-C cable is all that is needed for both power and data.  The FocusCube V3 is also WiFi enabled, which allows you to control or monitor focus from your Smartphone.  

High Res Stepper Motor:  The FocusCube 3 has a meticulously designed motor system that keeps backlash at minimal values.  The high-resolution geared stepper motor lifts and supports telescope equipment weighs up to 6 kg, even when the system is pointed at zenith.

Motor Couplers Included:  Pegasus Astro has included a package of five (5) motor couplers with different bore sizes to all you to precisely match the proper coupler to your telescope focuser's shaft.  Couplers range in size from 4 mm to 8 mm; just pick the one that fits snuggly onto your focus shaft.

V-Curve Autofocus:  Achieve accurate and repeatable V-Curves with FocusCube V3!  This process is virtually hassle-free.  Set up parameters and continue observing or imaging without manual adjustments.

Temperature Probe:  A digital temperature sensor comes standard with the FocusCube V2.  It is an external sensor that can be placed near the focuser to monitor temperature of both the focuser and the environment surrounding it.  Monitoring is real-time through the ASCOM driver or included software.

RJ12 Expansion Port:  This port, which is located at the rear of the FocusCube can accept the EZY-Focus hand controller if you wish to focus manually.  

ASCOM & INDI Support:  FocusCube V3 offers full support for ASCOM, ASCOM Alpaca* and INDI frameworks, which means you will find a wide range of software and platform compatibility.  

*ASCOM Alpaca: FocusCube V3 is equipped with an integrated web server that seamlessly communicates with Alpaca clients natively. ASCOM Alpaca outshines classic ASCOM drivers with its platform independence, modern web standards, streamlined installation, remote control capabilities, extensibility, and open-source options. This ensures superior compatibility and user-friendly performance, making it the preferred choice for advanced astronomy applications.
