Fine or motor focus for a 10" Meade?

[GazOC]

Does anyone know of any cheap options for either controlling the focus knob by motor or some type of manual fine focus adapter (a 10:1 reduction or similar).

Thanks

How about a feathertouch (like mine). Mines sooooper smooth.

Is it easy to install mate?

Looks good

but for a cheap temporary fix why not just fit a much larger diameter knob as this allows finer focussing as well...

I already use a clothes peg attached to the knob to fine focus, its low tech but its cheap and it works, but I've got a Hyperstar on the way and I'm not sure this method is going to be up to focusing at ~f2???

a longer clothes peg...

A hyperstar - whatever next

Fitting should be easy the feather touch should be easy .. no good for me as it would probably foul the camera body at prime focus... cant even use the celestron electic focusser with the DSLR mounted... but with your hypersatr setup that wouldnt be an issue...

I like your thinking, a man after my own heart!!!!

I stuck the "Meade 1209 Zero image shift microfocuser" thingy coffee grinder on mine, I just find the image shift to annoying when trying to achieve focus.
