Esprit 100ED and ZWO EAF bracket

[oymd]

Would appreciate if someone can post a pic of the underside of their Esprit 100ED focuser showing how they fixed the ZWO's bracket?

 

I have both the ZWO standard and the ZWO Takahashi brackets.

 

I recall I read somewhere NOT to mess with the 4 screws on the underside of the focuser?

 

Many thanks

Sorry, I've only just seen this.

Here's a photo of mine. I've just used the stock bracket. It's only held on by one screw but it seems secure enough. 

I can't actually remember where I found the instructions but they were ZWO ones specifically for the Esprit 100ED.

I managed to install it using the Takahashi bracket.

I used the 2 outermost screws on the focuser.

Your setup is interesting?

Where is that single bolt you used anchored?

It seems it is BEYOND the focuser?

There is a screw hole on the focus knob 'barrel/shaft' (not sure what terminology to use). You can see one at the bottom of the photo on the other knob. This is the one which ZWO advise to use.

Ah, I see. Is it an M4 as well? How long is it?

thanks.

I believe it is a M4. I used one of the screws and washers which came with the EAF.

If i can find the ZWO link which advises on this fitting i will post it on here.
