Today’s sophisticated imaging systems include color filter wheels (asymmetrical weight distribution), off-axis guiders, rotators, corrective optics, and CCD cameras.

Together they present a formidable group of equipment that must be moved with micron accuracy and no image shift to achieve the finest results.

The Atlas Digital Focuser is up to the task; an engineering pièce de résistance with unique solutions to achieving critical focus with heavy loads.

The Atlas and Adaptors are available from Orion Optics for ODK and AG models - please contact us for requirements / price.

Atlas
Repeatability

The production load test setup shown below consists of an Atlas focuser horizontally mounted to a fixed base and loaded with a ProLine camera at the end of a 10" long aluminum tube. As the focuser is moved repeatedly in both directions, it comes back to the same position every time. The displacement is measured by a dial indicator with 0.0001" resolution, a closeup of the dial face is shown for clearer viewing. Small step actuation at the end of the sequence highlights the precision of the instrument.

ODK-FLI Atlas Kit*

£2159

Includes Cell adatpor and 2 x ZT Adaptors
Note: Back focus distance used 90mm. This is with the Atlas
being set in its centre roughly 35mm.

FAR adaptors can be used and should be used to get the
required back focus distance. (Click here for more)
