Pegasus Falcon Rotator V2 : Motorized Field Rotator for Astrophotography

The Pegasus Falcon Rotator V2 is an engineering jewel designed to meet the demands of modern astrophotographers. This motorized field rotator, specifically adapted to large-aperture cameras (M68), boasts exceptional precision, compact design and advanced features. Here's a detailed description of this sophisticated device.

Technical specifications and features

Design and Materials
  • Compact, lightweight structure: The Falcon Rotator V2 boasts an ultra-thin profile, with a backfocus thickness of just 15.5 mm. This minimalist design reduces overall dimensions while optimizing optical performance.
  • Robust material : Made from anodized aluminum, it guarantees enhanced durability while remaining lightweight, weighing in at around 700 g.
  • Openings M68 : Both sides of the rotator are fitted with M68 x 1 mm threads, allowing compatibility with large optical equipment while avoiding vignetting.
Precision and Performance
  • Low-backlash stepper motor : Featuring a powerful motor with gear reduction, the Falcon V2 offers precise rotation with perfect locking in every angular position. The mechanics guarantee virtually zero bending, even under heavy loads.
  • Angular accuracy : The system allows extremely fine adjustment with up to 32 microsteps per degree of angle, ideal for precisely aligning your sensor with complex celestial objects such as the Pleiades (M45).
  • High payload : Tested to withstand imaging configurations of up to 6 kg (13 lb), it adapts perfectly to heavy optical trains without compromising stability.
Connectivity and Control
  • Universal USB-C : A single USB-C cable is required for power and data transmission, greatly simplifying telescope set-up.
  • Wi-Fi compatibility : Remote control via smartphone or tablet is possible thanks to integrated wireless connectivity, offering greater flexibility during observation sessions.
  • Supported software : The rotator is compatible with classic ASCOM drivers, native ASCOM Alpaca drivers and Unity Platform software. These tools enable smooth, precise automation of camera field orientation.
Advanced features
  • Derogation for Alt-Azimuthal frames : Thanks to integrated calculations that take into account the observer's latitude and celestial coordinates (altitude/azimuth), the Falcon V2 can correct field rotation on Alt-Az mounts, making long-exposure imaging possible without an equatorial mount.
  • Intelligent cable management : Rotation is limited to 220° clockwise to prevent accidental twisting or disconnection. Beyond this limit, the system automatically reverses the direction of rotation.
Accessories Included
  • M68 male to M54 female adapters for extended compatibility with various optical equipment.
  • USB-A to USB-C cable (1.5 m) included in the box for immediate, reliable connection.
Highlights
  • Unrivalled precision: Thanks to its advanced stepper motor and backlash-free mechanics.
  • Ergonomic design : Ultra-thin and lightweight for easy integration into any astrophotography setup.
  • Software versatility : Compatible with multiple software platforms for optimized control.
  • Modern connectivity : USB-C and Wi-Fi guarantee simplicity and flexibility.

Summary

The Pegasus Falcon Rotator V2 is an essential tool for demanding astrophotographers. Its unique combination of mechanical precision, advanced connectivity and compact design makes it an ideal choice for handling heavy setups while offering precise camera field orientation. Whether capturing complex nebulae or adjusting your framing on distant galaxies, this rotator guarantees a smooth, efficient experience every time.
