Auto Focuser for small mak

[cjamo9]

Hi There,
Does anybody know of a commercially available electric focuser for a skywatcher 127 mak. or anything that could be modified to fit one.
Thanks.:question:

nothing commercially available but you can make one out of a RC servo motor and a few little bits and bobs :)

i am working at the moment on a home made focuser and a motorized base box for my dob all controlled with a single control box. very basic but ill have it done in a week so ill put some pics and a description up for all to check out.:hi:

the auto focuser arrived today, fits perfectly and no slop in operation. the variable speed range is impressive. shame about the clouds out but playing with it today i know its a winner.:thumbsup:
