Just for fun, i also recently made a remote focusser,
but for my PST.
I made up a rough new base that allows the fitting of
1) a "gunshield" at the front ( to reduce burning of the top of my noggin )
2) a motor bracket at the back, to run the focuser.
Makes remote focusing in daylight a much easier process
Rough focusing is done by swinging the motor out of the way
and using the knob as per usual.
Once close, the motor is engaged and a remote HBx is used to
control the motor to get best focus whilst sitting at the lappie.
