Description

The #19788 DirectSync SW30 motor with built-in clutch mechanism and temperature sensor allows both manual and motorized control with a simple twist of the motor housing. 

Designed especially for the Sky-Watcher Esprit series telescope 3-inch Dual-Speed focusers, the DirectSync SW30 features simple installation and an elegant design. The DirectSync motors are fully compatibility with the FocusLynx Control Hub making DirectSync the very best choice for motorizing Sky-Watcher's premier astrograph telescopes.

Thomas V. ★★★★★

The clutch mechanism is the selling point here—twist the housing and you're back to manual focus without fighting the motor. Temperature sensor is a nice bonus for keeping tracking consistent through the night. Solid upgrade that does exactly what it claims.

Isabella ★★★★★

Installed this on my Sky-Watcher scope last night and the clutch mechanism is a game-changer—being able to switch between manual and motorized focus without any tools is incredibly convenient. Focus adjustments are now smooth and precise.

Avery S. ★★★★★

The twist-to-disengage clutch is the star here — I can rack the focuser by hand to frame a shot, then snap the motor back in without tools or backlash. The built-in temp sensor has also made my winter sessions noticeably smoother, since I can compensate for focus drift without fiddling.
