I am in the process of selling the SCT that this was mounted on (I used it for imaging but I am putting it back on it's CPC fork mount as a visual scope again) so time for the focus motor to go. Later versions of Celestron mounts are supposed to be able to drive these via the hand controller but my CPC mount didn't have the right hand controller for that. I was using it via the ASCOM driver and imaging software anyway so that did not matter.
These are $399 at Bintel (Though they are out of stock like most things astro) and I was looking for $220 posted anywhere in Aus for it.
This is the early version, so it does not fit the Edge HD 9.25" as they fouled on the reducer when fitted (I believe it was the reducer) I was using it on a straight C925 and it fitted that scope fine. I do not know about fitting the really old scopes, I believe they had a different focuser assembly. Any of the current SCTs 6" and larger bar the 9.25 Edge HD they will supposedly fit. They are also supposed to fit the RASA 8" (At least the earlier ones) and the RASA 11 with a With a retrofit kit (Which I have one of those somewhere too) that replaces the feathertouch focuser with the standard type.
