I'm looking to get an ASCOM motorised focuser for my Meade LX90. Does anyone have experience with them or can point me in the right direction?

Thx
Michael

I believe the Meade #1206, electric focusser would do the job and fit your LX90. (I may have one coming up for grabs in the near future??!!) Check out the usual web sites.
You should be able to find one for $160-$180.

Are you sure that one is ASCOM compliant? ie controlable from PC

Well....... no not really! but it CAN be controlled by the computer (via the Autostar handpaddle) when its connected to an LX90 mounting.
