Starting Price: $325.00
Price as Configured: $325.00
Brand: Optec / SKU: OP-19776
Optec's FocusLynx DirectSync APO system is an aftermarket add-on for several import Apochromat telescopes with dual-speed focusers. Meade Instruments, Stellarvue, and other telescope manufacturers include compatible focusers for the DirectSync APO motor. Like all Optec DirectSync and QuickSync motors, the new DirectSync APO motor provides a direct drive motor that can be easily disengaged for manual focusing. The DirectSync APO motor is easy to install and provides a digital focusing solution that also allows manual focus when at the telescope.

This version requires the external Optec FocusLynx controller. If you would prefer the fully integrated solution, consider the ThirdLynx model .
