The rotator can travel 700 degrees between mechanical hard stops to prevent cord wrap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile designing the new DeltaRho 350 we also wanted to design a new focuser and rotator that would add even more flexibility to our systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal was to create a faster, stronger focuser and rotator system that had a thinner profile than the IRF90. Our new stackable Series-5 Focuser and Rotator have achieved just that for users of our CDK700 and smaller telescopes. Both the focuser and rotator offer a clear aperture of five inches and are designed to stack for users that require derotation. For those only needing focusing capabilities, the new focuser also occupies less backfocus, which means more room for imaging train components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Series-5 rotator is a large capacity rotator for use with Alt\/Az, or equatorially mounted systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rotator is capable of lifting 40 lbs (18 kg) with a travel range of 700 degrees between mechanical hardstops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Series-5 rotator can be stacked with the Series-5 focuser for a complete focusing rotator solution (combined 2.78″ of occupied backfocus).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOccupies only 1.105” of backfocus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled via PWI4 software for autofocusing and optional field de-rotation (if using an Alt\/Az mounted system).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires the Series-5 Controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with DeltaRho 350 and RC700 telescopes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3,637,531 encoder counts per rotation (10104.25 counts per degree, 2.806 counts per arcsecond).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Series-5 rotator shown stacked with the focuser is sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackfocus occupied: 1.105”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotates up to 700 degrees between mechanical hardstops (+ or – 350 degrees from the center of travel).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed: up to 15 degrees\/second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear aperture: 5”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight capacity: 40 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.35 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries-5 Rotator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/pages\/planewave-warranty\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/pages\/planewave-warranty\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e1-Year Coatings \u0026amp; 2-Year Mechanics \u0026amp; Electronics Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planewave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44125286301925,"sku":"PW-6021001","price":4260.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/planewave-series-5-rotator-6021001-astronomy-plus-1.webp?v=1690491558","url":"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/products\/planewave-series-5-rotator-6021001","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
