Description

The nFOCUS controller fits in the palm of your hand and provides two directions at two speeds with only two buttons using advanced logic control and 12V regulated output!

Low speed is adjustable pulse width modulated (PWM) drive, providing full voltage torque for reliable low speed operation.Press the second button down while holding the first button down and nFOCUS digital logic control switches to high speed drive, to get you to focus quickly. nFOCUS avoids the problems with the focus motor controllers which adjust voltage to adjust speed, and thereby don't have the umph to turn the motor over at low speed. The nFOCUS whacks the motor with a full 12 volt, short duration pulse to overcome stiction at low speed operation, providing plenty of umph! It is amazing to see nFOCUS work, to see the focus change step by step till it's just right. No more coasting past then back past then past again. Uses 3 AA batteries (supplied) for long life..

Compatible withJMI, Celestron, MEADE LX200GPS microfocuser, Moonlite and others.

Pick the 12Volt DC Motor that's compatible with your telescope's focuser, or use the nFOCUS with a DC motor of your own!

Got a focuser that's not one of the ones listed on our website? Rigel has probably already done it! With a couple of photos and a few measurements they can make a DC motor kit that will fit your focuser at no additional cost -- just $166.90. E-mail [email protected].

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Christopher G. ★★★★★

The two-speed logic is really clever—it makes fine focusing adjustments feel natural without needing to swap settings. I’ve been using it with my telescope, and the regulated 12V output keeps the motor steady even on lower battery levels. Battery life has been solid through several nights of imaging

Alexander ★★★★★

The controller is surprisingly compact for how much control it offers, and the regulated 12V output made fine-tuning my focus incredibly smooth. Even the low speed has just the right amount of torque for precise adjustments without overshooting.

Sofia ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how intuitive the two-button logic is—once I got the hang of it, adjusting focus became effortless. The compact size fits perfectly in my palm, and the 12V regulated output delivers consistent performance during long sessions.
