My question was in hope of hearing of a cheaper alternative to the RoboFocus

hi roger,

i have 2 scopes and i use the swelfocus motor controller on each one ( $70) and the shoestring fcusb for each controller. i use these together with eqmod which also then allows me to have focus control( and mount control) of 1 scope via a gamepad. a great set-up and the goto's are always dead centre of my 2500mm focal length scope anywhere in the sky afer accurate polar alignment and a few star alignments.
