FOCUS MOTOR FOR SCT & EDGEHD INSTRUCTION MANUAL

USING THE FOCUSER MOTOR

THROUGH A CELESTRON COMPUTERIZED MOUNT

METHOD 1: WITH THE NEXSTAR+

OR STARSENSE HAND CONTROL

If using a Celestron computerized mount, the focus

motor can be powered and controlled from the

mount. This is done by connecting the AUX port on

the focus motor to an AUX port on the mount using

the supplied cable. If there are no available AUX

ports, the optional Celestron Aux Port Splitter can

be purchased.

Once connected to the mount's AUX port, the focus

motor can be controlled from the mount's hand

control. Both the the NexStar+ hand control (requires

version 5.30+ of the fi rmware) and the StarSense

hand control (requires version 1.19+ of the fi rmware)

are compatible.

If your hand control ﬁ rmware is not up-to-date, use the

NOTE:

Celestron Firmware Manager (CFM) to update it. This

program can be found at celestron.com/CFM.

The focus control can be accessed by pressing the hand

control's MENU button, then selecting "Focuser. "

METHOD 2: WITH A COMPUTER

When connected to the AUX port, the focus motor

can also be controlled through the mount from a

computer. This is especially desirable when doing

astronomical imaging, as this will allow control of both

the mount and the focus motor from the computer.

Connect the hand control to the computer using a

USB A-to-mini B cable (not included). One end of

the cable is connected to the USB mini B port on the

bottom of the hand control, the other end is connected

to the computer.

Once connected, you can use most any astronomy

telescope

control

software

control by using the Celestron Unifi ed ASCOM

mount driver, which can be downloaded from

ascom-standards.org.
