Hi,

my reason for seeking out an electronic focusser was to facilitate remote observing. I currently run a vixen mount contorlled by a WinCTC interface and The Sky software on my laptop. All works great, but need to be able to control focus for fully remote observing (i.e. telescope outside, me inside!).

Since my original post I have done further work and have now gone beyond the Jaycar kit. I am working on a system that will provide control from a computer, a resolution of .02mm (theoretical) and at a cost of around $300.

Hope to report soon.
