Mounting an electric focus motor.

Hiya! For those that have a SharpSky Pro, have you mounted it to the main shaft or the 10:1 shaft. I know David's suggestion is 10:1 for fine focus, and I did pull the focuser mechanism off and lube and retension etc and should all be good providing repeatability however; its the repeatability that concerns me. If it was on the main shaft it would technically never have slippage as long as the rack was engaged. I'm think Robofocus suggsets main shaft for this reason.

Looking for feedback before I continue with the project. Any advice welcome, including from people who have mounted other brands.

Thanks.
