Optec: Digital, temperature compensating focusing units

Advanced focusers for amateur astronomers

Optec. Inc., is an american company located in Lowell, Michigan, which designs and manufactures intelligent accessories for amateur astronomy since 1979.

In collaboration with Starlight Instruments, digital temperature compensating focusing units and accessories / software have been developed to meet all the requirements of the latest technology and precision. A wireless software control is available via apps for tablet and smartphone. The focusers are fully ASCOM compatible.

Optec's roots are founded strongly in astronomical research instrumentation with products such as the SSP line of photometers, the patented TCF temperature compensating focuser and the recent addition of the Pyxis LE, a high precision, low-profile camera field rotator.
