Skywatcher focuser pulley adaption.

[bomberbaz]

Hello all, not sure if this is the right place for the question but here goes.

I have a 130 P-DS and wanted to fit a SW auto focuser to it but there are two problems. 

1/ According to FLO website the SW doesn't fit my OTA 

2/ I don't want it permanently attached to the focuser and was looking at the pulley adaptation which i believe can be easily connected/dis-connected.

Has anyone got this set up on a newt and if so, some pictures and guidance would be very much appreciated.

TIA all

Regards

Steve

You might have to look at some of the more expensive focusers.

l have the SW auto focuser on my 130 PDS and will fit one to my ED80 when the bits arrive. Pics of my 130PDS and pics on another ED80. Going to look at the PDS to see lf l can do the same set up as the 80 ED.

I don’t think the SW focuser comes with a pulley wheel but I think I have a spare one if it would be of any use to you.

Where did you get the bracket from Steve, is it bought or something made up by yourself?

The bracket came with the autofocuser.
