My DIY Battery Focuser Mod/Installation for SkyMax 127


Recommended Posts

So I finally managed to mod install a focuser for my SkyMax 127

What I Bought
1x SkyWatcher Auto Focuser kit

1x GT2 200 mm x6 mm 2 mm pitch drive belt

1x GT2 6mm wide 60 tooth pulley with 12mm bore

1x GT2 6mm wide 20 tooth pulley with 6.35mm bore

I used the small bracket that came with the focuser to slip right in between the dovetail mount and the OTA.. its a snug n tight fit.. just put some Gaffa tape on it to protect the OTA No screws needed!!

Also made a felt washer out of some spare pads to go behind the OTA focuser

If I need to do a major focus change I will just slacken the grub screws to the motor pulley and manually set to approximate focus then retighten for fine tuning...

Now just need some clear skies
