Hi all,
I'm looking at replacing the focusers on both my Orion ST80 and Saxon ED80, and getting a motorized focuser unit for the new ED80 focuser.
From what I've read; for the ED80 I should be able to use the GSO 2" 96mm 10:1 Focuser or the WO F-SYN2S-N NEW GENERATION 2" Crayford focuser with 10:1 2-speed microfocuser.
The latter is more expensive; but is there any real difference that is noticeable?
Also do these support motorized focusing. Is there a better unit that supports motorised focusing.
For the ST80 Im looking at the Bintel Crayford Focuser 10:1 Refractor (88mm OD). I think this is the right one I need.
For those that have done similar before, can you recommend best focuser that can use a motorized focuser; and what focuser will work with it. Also, does the replacement focuser need regreasing?
Thanks heaps.
