hi Adam,
I actually didn't end up getting anything. I contacted TS in germany to discuss the esatto from memory - actually just checked my email - here is the response:

Hi Russel,

the esatto4 is a very good one, but there are no connectors for the apo130f7, so I really can't propose a ready solution. as well the esatto3 doesn't have connectors as well. as well I don't have other solution, I'll try to check if primaluce is interested to build an adapter for the esatto 3 or 4 (probably more 3 than 4)



Freundliche Grüße | Kind regards


I then gave up for the time being probably as there wasn't many clear nights and ended up with an asiair. I 'downgraded' my reducer flattener as it was really the problem, the threading was near impossible to work with. and have since added a zwo focuser which hasn't been successful - but I haven't given up on it yet i need to reinstall.

cheers
