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.

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.
