This legacy v2 kit motorises the primary-mirror focusing mechanism of Celestron C6, C8 and C9.25 SCTs. Its geared stepper motor drives the focuser through a timing belt, allowing the motor to sit away from equipment behind the telescope.
The motor uses 120:1 reduction with a nominal output step of 0.0625°. Published ratings are 12 V DC and 0.27 A. The motor, SCT adapter, pulley and belt together weigh 300 g.
This version uses a 13 mm pulley bore and M3 × 15 mm telescope fixing bolts. The kit contains the motor, anodised aluminium bracket, belt, pulley and bolts. Adjust the bracket position to tension the belt as described in the installation guide.
A separate compatible stepper controller is required. The motor connects through RJ45; it has no built-in USB controller. The installation guide lists DMFC, Ultimate Powerbox v1/v2 and eXternal Motor Controller. Cable inclusion differs between published package descriptions.
