Description

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-nSTEP 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.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Mia P. ★★★★★

The USB connection made setup effortless—plugged it into my mount and it was reading within seconds. Now I can see exactly when my scope has cooled down to ambient, which has cut my focusing frustration in half.

James O. ★★★★★

Was skeptical at first, but the temp readout update in the app is spot-on compared to my old thermometer. The sensor cable is plenty long to reach the mount without strain.

Sofia V. ★★★★★

Plugged this in and immediately saw my focus shifts tracked in real time. The external sensor reads the temperature right next to the tube, so the autofocus corrections are much more responsive than relying on the weather forecast. A simple upgrade that really stabilizes my imaging sessions.
