Why choose the SQA55 AF autofocus kit?

The SQA55 AF kit is specially designed for demanding astronomers who want to improve the precision and flexibility of their equipment. Here's what makes this kit unique and why it's an excellent choice for an optimized observing experience.

1. Greater adaptability : Many adapters for electronic focusers are limited in length, which can restrict the type of cameras or accessories that can be used on the back of the telescope. With the SQA55 AF, the adapter is designed with an ideal length, allowing the accessories of your choice to be connected without difficulty.
2. Improved accuracy : Synchronous belts on conventional electronic focusers often have a slight backlash, impairing focusing accuracy. The SQA55 AF kit incorporates a tensioning pulley to adjust the belt and eliminate this play, guaranteeing precise focus every time.
3. Easy installation : Unlike other focusers, which can be complex to install, the SQA55 AF is designed for easy assembly and disassembly. It can be placed in different positions on the optical tube, freeing up space for the addition of other necessary accessories.
4. Universal compatibility : The SQA55 AF kit is compatible with most brands of electronic focuser. No matter which brand you use, this kit is easy to install, giving you maximum flexibility.

Installation tips

If you're using an electronic focuser with a wider hole spacing, like the Pegasus Astro model, no problem! The L-shaped plate in this kit is fully adjustable. Simply screw on the M4×12 fasteners, position the plate, then secure with the screws for a perfect fit.

With the SQA55 AF kit, you can improve your focusing accuracy and increase the efficiency of your astronomical observations. Take your equipment to the next level!
