RoboFocus Mandel Setup - Full RF3 System - RF3M

The Mandel Adapter allows the attachment of a 35mm or digital SLR camera directly to the telescope focuser providing a "wide angle" imaging option. RoboFocus provide that ability to attain controlled focus through the camera lens. The "Mandel" additional motor kit includes a motor with timing sprocket, a 19" timing belt to attach around lens, and a set of mounting brackets.

The Mandel setup can also be specified as the RF3 Type when ordering a complete RoboFocus System

The latest version of RoboFocus, (RF3), includes temperature compensation as a standard feature. Some scopes change focus as the temperature changes. Thus, you will benefit from a technique for measuring temperature and automatically making the appropriate focus changes. The sensor is inside the controller (external probe no longer available), and the RF control program includes a module for creating a dataset to record how your scope's focus responds to temperature changees. You can then set RoboFocus to adjust the focus automatically.
