  The enhanced wifi-nSTEP PRO upgrades our original usb-nSTEP and wifi-nSTEP systems. Fully ASCOM and ALPACA compliant to work wirelessly from  your PC with popular focus control programs including temperature compensation with the included temperature sensor. Software and ASCOM drivers for Windows xp/vista/7/8/10/11. PC, fully supported in Indilib for linux/Mac OS and Indigo for Windows/linux and Mac OS. Works with both Bipolar and Unipolar focus steppers!

   

  Wifi focusing also can be done manually with our wireless remote or your cell phone or tablet. Gear coupled motor prevents binding of focuser and provides up to 9,600 steps per revolution in full step mode and 19,200 steps in half step. Supports fast focusing with up to 17 degrees/sec rotation of focuser knob. Our robust stepper has more power running at 12VDC and uses robust metal gears inside, not plastic. All that's needed is to supply 12VDC  -- no internal battery to worry about losing power in the cold or freezing and running out of charge.

   

  Unlike all-in-one boxes, our MODULAR approach provides easy repair or replacement of components and easy sharing between multiple telescopes.  Buy just the components you need.  MODULAR  also provides an affordable upgrade path to future nSTEP features and firmware enhancements. 
  

nSTEP Stepper Motor

Don't have a focus motor? Motorize your focuser with our high torque 12V DC Stepper driven by our  powerful wifi-nSTEP controller. Just check our gallery to the right for popular ones.

Got a focuser that's not in our gallery?   We've done over 100 different types and variations including Williams Optics, Takahashi, Coronado,   JMI, Astro Tech, Baader, Borg, Cave, Meade, Skywatcher, Tectron, TMB, Vixen, Cave, Zhumell. With a couple of photos and a few simple measurement we can craft a STEPPER focus motor kit that will fit yoru focuser at no additional cost. E-mail us at rigelsys0@gmail.com and we'll get it started.  

• Step resolution: Gear coupling of motor to focus shaft provides up to 9,600 steps per revolution in full step mode and 19,200 in half step mode to supply the very fine focus movement required for fast telescopes and camera lenses.
  
  
• Max focus knob rotation speed: 17 deg/sec
  
  
• Bracket kits & gear ease of installation: Tailored to each focusers for ease of attatchment, each kit contains all the parts needed for each particular focuser.
•  

• Manual focusing with focuser knobs: easily declutched for manual focusing using focus knob
  
  
• Added weight on telescope: Mere 250 grams
  
  
• Adding more scopes: User can add just a bracket and gear kit ($70) to a different scope and move the focus motor or add bracket and motor ($109.95) and just swap the wifi-nFOCUS between them.

wifi-nSTEP PRO Wireless Remote

Connects to wifi-nSTEP PRO controller over wifi for wireless RA/DEC slewing. Switch from slow to fast slewing with the press of a button. Fine tune slew rate by rotating speed control knob. Runs on 3 AAA batteries.

nSTEP Temperature Sensor

• Optional Temp sensor: has its own dedicated port. 0.1 degree C resolution per measurement

Telescopes change focus as temperature changes expand/contract the length of the telescope tube as temperature increases/decreases. Adding the external temperature sensor to the usb-nFOCUS adapter allows your autofocus software to and automatically compensate for these temperature changes. Unlike internal temperature sensors located inside the controller that are affected by the heat generated by the electronics, the external temperature sensor can be attached to the telescope to get a more accurate measurement of the ambient temperature.

Buy wifi-nSTEP PRO wifi Controller, STEPPER focus motor and wifi-nSTEP PRO Wireless Remote at the same time on our website and we'll include the temp sensor free.
