[Ambermile]

Got one of these laying around, need to clear it away... not going to put an AUS$ as it looks scary :eyepop:Will need a bracket to mount to your focuser but at this price it's a steal. Paypal OK, delivery please add some...

Simple hand control for visual use.

PS - may trade for TV EP's...

remember this is not *like* new... it *is* new.

Does everything Robofocus does but USB!!

Temperature compensating too!

*Fully* ASCOM compliant - run it from Maxim or any other compliant imaging program!

Price? Pictures?

Mike - it's new, as shown on the Artemisccd website link given... Price would be around £210, AU$500 or so, but as I said, willing to trade for TV EP's!



Attached a few pics from the site... the control box, the hand controller and the stepper (this mounted on an ED80)

I might be interested in the future (for my 12" newt), but can't afford it right now.

How would it attach to a crayford?

Mike - just a bracket similar to the one in the picture above, after removing one of the focus knobs. You would need a small tube to go from the gearbox on the stepper to the focus shaft.

This model of the Artemis focuser will no longer be made sadly.
