Thanks Stewart,
That's encouraging news. It seems pretty straight forward. It looks like JMI makes a compatible motorized focuser that fits into the visual back, which looks like a good investment. My only concern is that it might reduce my apparent FoV, even more than it already is, if not implemented correctly, which I have to assume means I will need the mirror carriage to remain movable.
The penny pinching effort is now underway... no more Friday lunch outings for a couple of months.
