Depends on how I go as I have only started looking into astrophotography this year, but have been talking and learning from local state astronomical society. DSLR and filter wheel would be about where I am at as well. Worth me doing some research in this area. Thanks raymo for the info.

for using with a DSLR and a filter wheel, but would struggle a bit with a heavier load. It's a little bit slow when making very large changes in focus. Can make extremely fine focus adjustments when set to slowest speed. I had to spend the huge amount of $5 for a small on/off switch, and invest 1/2hr on installing it. [it drains the battery even when
turned off, otherwise]. It's made for Skywatcher Newts and fracs, but could easily be made to fit most conventional focusers, comes with two different mounting brackets. About $85-90 from Bintel, if I remember
rightly.
