Designed to offer the best performance for astrophotography

The special Crayford design with 28 ball bearings allows ESATTO 3” to have an impressive 8kg payload capacity with the focusing smoothness that is required by modern astrophotography techniques (eg. autofocusing with V-curve). ESATTO 3” has a draw tube with 76mm of free aperture and 25mm of travel.

Many adapters available 

You do not need to worry about how to connect ESATTO to your telescope as there are many adapters available. You can easily connect ESATTO 3” to telescopes like Schmidt-Cassegrains, Aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrains, refractors, Cassegrains, Newtonians and more. ESATTO truly is the universal focuser and if you cannot find an adapter for your telescope, just contact us.


Designed for remote control via Wi-Fi, from any smartphone, tablet or computer via the ESATTO Virtual HandPad app

ESATTO has a built-in Wi-Fi connection for remote control so you can operate it from any smartphone, tablet or computer. Just connect your device to the Wi-Fi network of ESATTO and start the Virtual Hand Pad through your browser. Its convenient preset settings allows to record and move the focuser to specific predetermined positions. The Wi-Fi control works even if ESATTO is connected to a computer so you can control it simultaneously from 2 devices.

Focuser draw tube with M81 x 1 thread and stop ring for a perfect camera connection

To avoid any camera tilt or optical train flexure, ESATTO 3" has a M81 x 1 male thread where you can screw on an adapter for your camera or accessory. The optional 2" visual back is generally only used for visual observations. The stop ring allows to lock the camera at a precise angle to better frame the object.

Connection with a single cable to ARCO

ESATTO includes a special port for ARCO, the robotic camera rotator.  With ARCO you can remotely control the rotation angle of your camera to achieve perfect framing of the object. ESATTO and ARCO are designed to work together as you will only need one short connector between the two!
