It includes the housing and mounting bar for the TS 2.5" R&P focuser but should be able to mount to other focusers as well (the bracket attaches to the bottom of the focuser body). It includes an coupler adaptor to attach to the focuser axle. The hand controller, and temperature sensor is included. Basically everything you need to automate your focusing.

I paid 266Euro ($400 AUD) plus shipping to get it here from Teleskop-Express. The unit works perfectly, I have tested the motor and controller, mounted briefly once on my APO. I am not using it and it should go to a new home.
I am selling it here for $280 shipping included to anywhere in Australia. Photos attached.
If interested PM me here at IIS.
