EAA electronic focusing

Hi all,



I am slowly (though ideally quickly) making the change from visual obs. to EAA. I currently own a Nexstar Evo8 with a Featherlight Micro Focuser. For now I'll likely go down the route of a f6.3 reducer with a IMX533 chip based colour camera. Ideally, I'd add a Hyperstar 8 v4 into the mix for DSO but with the current exchange rate I think I might wait a bit (anyway, ideally i'd like to find one used - like everyone else). I'd like to stick with Stellarmate as my 'puter option and avoid being locked into ZWO though I do think their gear is solid.

Here is my question. Who here has any experience with wireless focusing and specifically what do we think about the following:

Celestron Focusing Motor (~$333)

Starlight Instruments Electronic Focusing System (EFS) (~$460)

ZWO EAF (~$329)

Pegasus Astro Focus Cube (~$500)


Are there any other contenders in the wireless focusing world that I am missing?
