Very happy today...
1) Observatory PC is working again for first time in 4 weeks
2) New active USB cable ducted from pier to PC
3) All USB devices now function great
4) Connected Accufocus to PC using a new FCUSB unit
5) Verified my recent attaching of a simple little Orion Acufocus to my Megrez 90.
Very happy with the finished result of the focus motor. Sure it's cheap and has slop/play compared to the RoboFocus on the main scope, but for the money it works really well now that it's all securely attached in a rigid manner. I'm happy with the neatness of my attaching it, for me things rarely end up square :)
Hasn't seen starlight since the focus motor was attached, the USB was fixed or the FCUSB was bought and integrated. Can't wait.
Pics attached.
