The skywatcher one will not fit the Megrez 90 focuser, the coupler is too big for the focus shaft.. What you could do however is put a pulley on the SW focus motor shaft, and run a tight rubber belt around the pulley, then up and around the 10:1 shaft... As Doug said, coupled with the Shoestring FCUSB controller, it will give you PC control, and automated focus is possible.

The Robofocus setup is the best way to go if you don't want to change the focuser. If putting a new focuser on the scope doesn't worry you, the feathertouch focusers with either their own Digital Focus System or Robofocus is about the be all and end all of quality automated focusing..
