Hitec FocusMaster Deluxe Stepper Motor Based Focus Controller

FocusMaster Deluxe is a high quality digital focus controller with temperature compensation and LCD screen for stepper motor based focusers.
 
FocusMaster includes inbuilt temperature compensation. An external temperature sensing probe is included. Comprehensive operating software, and ASCOM 6 compliant driver and full documentation are all available for download from HitecAstro's website under their support area. The autofocus ability of this unit has been extensively tested and found that FocusMaster is capable of autofocusing even an F/11 14" SCT right to the limit of the seeing conditions (using free FocusMax software). We are very excited about this product and we hope you will be, too. So why not download the documentation, grab some coffee or tea and have a read to see why we are so excited about the newest arrival at Hitecastro.
