PRIMA LUCE LAB UPGRADE KIT FOR ESPRIT 150

This bundle allows you to replace the SkyWatcher Esprit 150ED's stock focuser with the high precision Prima Luce Lab ESATTO 3" robotic microfocuser and the adapters needed to connect the Esprit's 1x field flattener.

While Prima Luce Lab's Esatto upgrade kits are engineered to the exact specifications of the telescope. If the manufacturer changes the design of the tube or the manufacturing tolerances are too great, this is out of our control. As a result, this could put the focus point outside of the range of the Esatto. If this is the case, we have plenty of different extensions available and can design custom adapters if necessary. 

The kit contains:

• ESATTO 3" robotic microfocuser
• ESATTO 3" adapter for SkyWatcher Esprit 120 & 150
• 40mm extension tube for ESATTO 3"
• M81 25mm extension tube for ESATTO 3"

Note: This kit does not include the PLUS support rings or telescope shown in the photographs. The upgrade kit does not account for the extra thickness of the ARCO rotator, so if you intend on using this then a different extension tube will be required. Contact us for more information. Esatto is shipped in its original packaging and does not come pre-assembled to the scope.

The SkyWatcher ESPRIT 150 ED telescope has a Crayford focuser that doesn't offer a high load capacity so it is not recommended for long exposure astrophotography with heavy cameras or accessories. This special bundle adds ESATTO 3", the new generation robotic focuser that you control by any Windows computer by connecting it to a USB port, or via WiFi by using ESATTO app on your smartphone or tablet with the Virtual HandPad.

Thanks to the 40mm (to be installed between tube and focuser) and 25mm (to be installed between focuser and camera) extension tubes included with the kit, you can reach the focus with the ESATTO 3" focuser. The kit includes the adapter to thread the 1,0x field flattener to the ESATTO 3" focuser.

On the camera side, ESATTO has a M81x1 male thread to connect and manually rotate many cameras and accessories by adding the optional adapters with stop rings. ESATTO 3" has 25mm of focuser tube travel, a 8kg payload capacity and an incredible resolution of 0,04 micron per step.
