TS Crayford - fitting drive motor???

[Merlin66]

I've managed to find a 2" TS Crayford to replace the clunky plastic one on the old Vixen, but find I really need better control ( Yes, I know, the 10:1 would have been great!!)
Anyone had success in fitting a cheap ( say Skywatcher/ Orion) drive to this type of focusser?????

Hi Ken

I've got an orion accufocus fitted onto my standard 2" crayford.

Works great.

Mike,
Looks good to me!
I'll have a closer look at the knobs and fitment tomorrow, by the look of yours, should work!
I'm finding getting the DMK21 with a x3 Barlow into focus in Ha solar imaging a bit of a challenge!!!

Yeh absolutely. I use it all the time for imaging the planets at 10+m focal length.
