Large aperture in a slim design
The Falcon Rotator 2 has an impressively low profile, slim 16 mm backfocus thickness and features openings on both sides with an M68 (2.67 inches) x 1mm pitch thread.
The motor has been strategically positioned away from the optical axis to ensure it does not interfere with your equipment.
Field De-Rotation support for Alt-Az mounts
Rotator has the mechanical precision to achieve field de-rotation. Supplied Unity Platform calculates Rate of Rotation (RoR) based on the site latitude, target altitude and azimuth position.
By fine-tuning the micro-step drive control of the motor, derotation can achieve an resolution as precise as 5 arc-seconds.

Star and Solar tracker support
Rotator Firmware (v1.3) now supports both sidereal and solar tracking, allowing you to mount the Falcon v2 rotator on a tripod, align it with the North or South Celestial Pole (NCP or SCP) and track the stars or sun.
Simply attach your camera with a telephoto lens (or a small refractor telescope) to the rotator for a mobile, grab-and-go solution.
Ideal for travelers seeking convenience and high portability, the Falcon2 rotator provides a swift and ultra-portable setup for your equipment.
We are developing an AstroStat retrofit kit that integrates the Falcon2 rotator with your tripod, enhancing your stargazing experience with ease and precision.
Cable Wrap Prevention
Rotator does not allow a clockwise turn above 220 degrees. It will turn anti-clickwise when it has to be moved above 220 degrees.
A nice cable wrap/snag prevention feature out of the box.
