skywatcher autofocus

[piprees]

Hi folks,

Is there a way of somehow connecting a Skywatcher autofocus to a laptop so that it can be used with an autofocus program such as SG pro or will I have to save up quite a bit more for a Lakeside or Moonlite setup or similar.

Kind regards,

P.

I use the Shoestring FCUSB focuser interface to drive my SW electronic focus motor from the PC.

Thanks Merlin, I may just give it a go.

That's what I used. You also need this cable to connect the focuser to the interface.
