Auto focusser onto dual-speed focusser mod

[ChrisThePuma]

Hi All

I hope someone may be able to point me at a way of fitting an auto focusser (like this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/misc/skywatcher-auto-focuser.html ) onto a dual speed focusser (like this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-focusers/skywatcher-dual-speed-low-profile-1252-inch-crayford-focuser.html ) ?

I asked FLO and he said they wont fit, but said people mod them to fit most things, so if anyone knows - or has done it - or can point me at a thread that covers this then great.

I have the above fucusser so what ever the option it must involve that focusser.

Thanks

chris

I think it can be done, i have seen this on the SCT version of this focuser, and plan to do just this myself, you have to mount the motor on the end of the shaft where the SLOW speed knob is and make a little right angle bracket to attach to underside of focus cross bar

Don't know if one of these will fit, or the company make one for your type of Focusr.....
