PrimaLuceLab GIOTTO 255 with ALTO-2 motor

GIOTTO 255 with ALTO-2 motor

This PrimaLuceLab kit combines the GIOTTO 255 flat generator with the ALTO-2 cover motor. It allows the panel to be used as a remote-controlled motorized cover.

Precise pairing of two devices

The part number refers to the GIOTTO 255 and ALTO-2 combination, not to a panel sold separately or a motor sold separately. Mechanical compatibility with the telescope must be verified when preparing for installation.

Scope of Available Data

The manufacturer's page for this set confirms the two devices and their use as a motorized lid. It does not specify the screws, clamps, adapters, or cables included in the package. These accessories are therefore not listed as included, based on an inference from another kit. The specifications for other GIOTTO models do not apply to this set.

PrimaLuceLab Official Fact Sheet

Ordering and Installation

The GIOTTO panel provides diffused LED lighting with brightness adjustable across 100 levels, from 0 to 100 %. The flats are used to correct vignetting and dust shadows during image processing. GIOTTO and ALTO operate on 12 V and are controlled via USB-C from EAGLE or a Windows computer using PLAY or ASCOM-compatible software. Wi-Fi and the Virtual HandPad also allow control from a phone or tablet.

The motorized mechanism makes it easier to position the panel on flats, but it does not provide a light-tight seal for capturing darks. A separate library of darks is recommended. The mounting and clearance of the arm must be checked on the telescope; no clamps or additional adapters are listed as included unless specifically confirmed in the package contents.
