Description

Optec's new DirectSync ATX25 motor features our ThirdLynx control circuit. This model is a new design to fit import focusers manufacured after October 2019.

No external controller is required.

USB connectivity and fully compatible with all existing FocusLynx software.

NOTE:  several import focusers changed in late 2019 so we designed the new ATX25 motor providing a better fit.  If you have an older model (pre-fall 2019), the DirectSync APX25 may be a more suitable motor.    See photos above and on the linked page to compare your focuser pinion block.  Or send us a photo of your telescope focuser for our best recommendation.

ThirdLynx controllers are fully compatible with FocusLynx dual-focus control hubs making the FTX40 compatible with all ASCOM, X2, and INDI software.

Julian I. ★★★★★

Went from constant back-focus headaches to rock-solid control after swapping to this motor. The ThirdLynx circuit makes calibration a breeze, and the fit on my newer import focuser was perfect right out of the box.

Sophia ★★★★★

Installed this on my import focuser from late 2019 and it fit perfectly, no shims needed. The motor's response is instant with no lag when making tiny adjustments through the control software. Really cleaned up my image runs.

Samuel ★★★★★

The ThirdLynx circuit makes fine-tuning focus incredibly smooth, even through my laptop. It snapped right onto my post-2019 focuser without any adapters or hassle. Exactly the upgrade I needed for sharp, consistent exposures.
