So I’ve been in Tassy for a couple of weeks (holiday, first time there), and on my return had a nice shiny new EAF focuser with SCT bracket.
Very easy to install, but scant documentation re the sct bracket.
Easy to setup software wise (ascom and sharpcap)
I’m a complete electronic focuser newbie, of course I ran out of focus travel! So I dismounted the eaf, wound it in a bit with the hand controller, then remounted it!
At initial installation I wound the mirror right back and then attached the focuser.
Is there a correct way of doing this? Should I have wound the focuser out to its end point?
What happens when you put a reducer or Barlow into the equation, is there usually enough focus travel?
Currently just doing this with the hand controller for visual....I’m smitten, no shake, and so precise!
