FAQS

How much does ArcBlue C42 cost with the VIP deposit?

By placing a 100% refundable $100 deposit before launch, you can secure the Exclusive VIP offer for the ArcBlue C42 at $3,499, saving you $1,500 in total compared to the regular MSRP of $4,999 and $300 off the $3,799 Super Early Bird.

What's included in the ArcBlue C42 System?

The ArcBlue C42 System includes the C42 Camera with Camera Angle Adjuster (CAA), Pulsar Equatorial Mount, Counterweight Battery, Tripod, and two cables.

It is built as a complete smart astrophotography system. With your own lens or telescope, you can start shooting with full-frame imaging, tracking, guiding, live preview, and capture control in one workflow.

The system features a modular design. The C42 Camera and Pulsar Mount can work together as an integrated system, or be used separately with compatible gear you already own.

Please note that lenses and telescopes are not included.

What does the deposit for ArcBlue C42 actually secure, and does it mean I have already purchased the product?

Placing a deposit for ArcBlue C42 allows you to secure the corresponding VIP deposit benefit: an additional $300 VIP discount compared with the Super Early Bird price during the Kickstarter launch period.

ArcBlue C42 is expected to launch on Kickstarter in Q4 2026. To receive your VIP benefit, please use the same email address for your deposit and Kickstarter order.

Please note that this deposit does not mean you have already purchased the final product. Your final order will be completed during the Kickstarter purchase stage.

How do I complete the purchase with my deposit?

Once your ArcBlue C42 deposit is confirmed, a confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address. Please check your inbox to verify your reservation.

When the Kickstarter campaign goes live, you will be able to complete your purchase at any time during the campaign period. On the campaign page, the price displayed will be the Super Early Bird price.

If you have placed a deposit, your corresponding VIP deposit benefit will not appear directly on the checkout page. Instead, it will be refunded to you after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

  • Once the Kickstarter campaign goes live, use the same email address to access the purchase page and select the reward tier you want at the Super Early Bird price.
  • Complete the payment during the campaign period.
  • After the campaign ends, we will refund your corresponding VIP deposit benefit to you.

We'll continue to share the latest updates through our official channels along the way.

How will my refund be processed?

After the campaign concludes, we will process the refund within 14 working days. You will receive a total refund / benefit fulfillment of $400, which may include:

  • $100 deposit refund via the same payment method you used for the deposit
  • $300 additional VIP discount via Kickstarter

Please note that depending on the final process, these may be handled separately rather than at the same time. We will share the official details once finalized.

How can I confirm that I bought the deposit successfully?

Once your ArcBlue C42 deposit is successfully placed, you should see a confirmation during the checkout process. If you checked the box for "email me with news and offers" during checkout, you will also receive a confirmation email associated with your order.

This email confirms that your deposit purchase was successful. Please keep your confirmation email or order record for future reference.

Why should I use the same email address for the deposit and final purchase?

We use the email address you used for the deposit to match it with your Kickstarter registered / login email, so we can confirm your corresponding VIP deposit benefit.
