The advantages of this kit
Question: The SQA55 itself can be adapted to electronic focusers, what are the advantages of the SQA55 AF kit?
Answer:
1. Many original adapter plates of electronic focusers are too long, which limits the type of camera or accessories that can be connected to the back of the telescope when it is in use. However, the SQA55 AF Kit has been specifically designed with an extra long adapter plate that allows the SQA55 to be subsequently connected to any accessory required by the user.
2. The original timing belts of most motor focusers have unavoidable play, which affects the focusing accuracy. With the SQA55 AF kit with tension roller, the timing belt can be adjusted tightly, which improves focusing accuracy.
3. Most of the installation steps of the original electronic focuser are cumbersome. The SQA55 AF kit can be disassembled and assembled as a whole and installed in different positions of the SQA55 lens barrel to create more space for installing other required accessories.
4. The SQA55 AF kit is suitable for almost all electronic focusers; if the user chooses another motor focuser, it can be easily installed and used.
Question: If I use a motor focuser with a larger hole spacing like Pegasus Astro, how can I use the SQA55 AF kit?
Answer: The L-shaped adapter plate of SQA55 AF putty is completely hollow, just screw down the M4*12 mounting screws, turn the L-shaped adapter plate in the right direction, adjust the distance of the L-shaped adapter plate to a suitable one position, and then screw the M4*12 screws to fix it.
