All Installed and Working
Well,
I managed to install the Sky Watcher focuser on the Orion Eon 110 with some work. As expected, the included brackets were not compatible with the Eon's focuser. However, I was able to design an alternate custom made one and print it out on my 3D printer. After fitting it and testing it, I then realised that the Scope will no longer fit in the case with this electric focuser mounted. So back to the drawing board (CAD Program) and I redesigned it so it is a removable system.
I can now attach the focuser when required and remove it at the end of the night for storage in the case.
I have to say, that the SW Electric focuser on just copes when I have all my gear on the scope and pointing straight up. I will have to find out whether the motor can work on 12V rather than 9V. Maybe that will give it a little more torque. Otherwise I might have to upgrade to the Arduino version suggested by Nico13
