Motorising a focuser (and connecting to the computer)
I want to motorise the focuser connected to the SharpStar AL-107PH. And I'd like to control the focuser with the computer.
For my RC10, I just completely replaced the original focuser (as it was not good) with a Moonlite with motorised control and usb connection. And I've been happy enough with it.
However, the focuser on the SharpStar appears to be quite good, so it makes sense to keep it and add to it.
Could I get some thoughts on what would be good options for doing this? I have done some searching already, but it's not clear to me what's good, bad, etc. I did notice a specific unit for the SharpStar made by Avalon, but it's specifically for their mount system, so that's probably out.
While I'm asking about focusers, what about a rotator? Are there add on solutions possible?
