Alex,
6 months ago I fitted the ZWO EAF focuser to both my 6” and 8” newts ( had to make up a custom bracket etc.... to allow it to fit ( ZWO don’t have a focuser kit for GSO newts )
I opted for the hand controller and use my Capture software APT to perform fine focus. Works brilliantly !!
These ZWO EAF focusers are excellent compared to my old JMI Moto focusers which were painful to use and waisted so much time focusing.
The ZWO EAF hand controller has 2 modes, fast / slow and a focus in and out button.
Distance from my focuser to laptop table is 5m for both 6” and 8” newts
Power Supply -
5m USB2A to USB2B cable available anywhere ( power supply via a plug in USB2 charger from Bunnings)
Hand controller control cable ( 3m + 2m cables ) -
3m 3.5mm TRRS 4 pole Male to Male cable ( Avencore part no AVC - C5693 available from Cable Chick in Brisbane)
2m 3.5mm 4 position headset cable Male to Female ( Startech part no MUHSMF2M available from Mwave in Sydney)

Check to see if the ZWO EAF fits the RASA ok ?

You only need the EAF focuser software if your Capture software doesn’t have a focusing feature or focusing tool

Cheers
Martin
