Designed by and for astrophotographers, this is our new flagship product, ready to take your astrophotography experience to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured entirely in Spain with meticulous CNC machining in aluminum, the Merlin 3.0 HD offers you a high-end electronic focus motor with exceptional performance. Say goodbye to manually moving your telescope towards bright stars. Our autofocus system allows you to achieve impeccable precision, surpassing even the famous Bahtinov mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith more power, sensors, and connectivity than ever before, the RB-Focus Merlin 3.0 HD is equipped with a variety of useful sensors, including a digital thermometer and the innovative Sensorless AutoHoming™ feature. It also features Bluetooth antennas, reducing cables and weight in your setup. Thanks to its Dual-Core processor, the Merlin 3.0 performs autofocus tasks seamlessly, even while updating on-screen data and executing other internal functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSay goodbye to analog controls and outdated boxes. Control your focus manually through our intuitive mobile application. The Merlin allows you to focus while enjoying visual or planetary observation, providing maximum comfort and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Sensorless AutoHoming™ feature automatically calibrates the telescope's focuser in multiple directions, even if the tube accidentally moves or if you manually retract it at the end of the session. Don't worry! Our ultra-precise auto-sensing home position system returns the tube to the last focus point applied by the capture program, avoiding position losses and eliminating the need to remember initial settings. Additionally, thanks to our innovative magnetic field study detection system, we can ensure the correct tension of the focuser mechanism, preventing unwanted slippage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a resolution of 16,000 steps per revolution or just 0.7 microns, the Merlin 3.0 is on par with the best options available on the market, and best of all, at an affordable price for everyone. Its DirectDrive™ technology, a direct transmission system, avoids the common mechanical play issues found in other products, allowing you to even manually focus when you don't have access to a computer. We have also incorporated our ultra-silent motor system, IntelligentSilentDrive™, which actively adjusts the motor's force for completely noise-free operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Merlin 3.0 is compatible with the most popular capture software on the market, such as APT, SGP, NiNa, Voyager, KStars, EKOS, thanks to its compatibility with ASCOM and INDI standards. Additionally, it comes with a simple controller that allows you to quickly configure and perfectly adapt it to any setup, regardless of the type of focuser your telescope has. All this is presented in a compact and discreet module, measuring just 7 cm in height and weighing 280g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreaking the myth that autofocus systems are only for advanced users with monochrome cameras, the Merlin 3.0 has been tested and is equally effective with color or DSLR cameras, from basic to advanced models. Now, any astrophotographer can fully automate their photography sequences, regardless of whether they use a reflector or refractor telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the integrated LCD IPS screen, now with automatic shutdown, you can monitor the proper functioning of the electronic focuser, review your saved configurations, and follow the movements in real-time, without having to search for that information on your computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe know that many similar products require endless pages of complex parameter configurations, which can be tedious and discourage astrophotographers from enjoying the great advantage of having an autofocusing telescope. That's why we have adapted our software to work with minimal and straightforward settings, without sacrificing functionality and control. We want all astrophotography enthusiasts to have access to one of the most advanced techniques in this art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover the power of the RB-Focuser Merlin 3.0 and take your astronomical images to new heights.
