Adjusting at an incredibly fine 0.6µ per step, the focuser locks into position when movement stops for pinpoint control. It's compatible with ASCOM and INDI drivers so you can control (and power) it via USB-C from your computer. You can also add a power supply and move it with directional buttons or control it manually with using the dial. A camera angle adjuster is built in so you can frame photos to your liking. The temperature sensor is also built in and compensates for a moving focal plane.
