Motofocus for William Optics DDG style 2

I purchased this in January last year thinking that I would do some wide field photography and automate it from my computer. I practiced, it worked, then I packed it all up and didn't do anything with it. SO, this is basically brand new, suited to a William Optics DDG style 2 focuser and is Ascom compliant if you want to use that. A lot of other software will work with it, pick your favorite really!

Comes with the original shipping box (no big surprise there), instructions, cable, hand controller and motor. The gears used on this motor are high quality brass, you can see from the photo that there's no wear on them at all.

New, these are $179 USD ($230 AUD) plus shipping. I would like to sell this for $220 including shipping.

Thanks for looking
Simon.

This might go very well with Stephan's DDG for sale!

I don't think ASCOM works with OSX yet, TheSkyX does - but depends on what software you are using at the moment. What are you using?

Ah, I think I see the problem. What I mean to say is that the motor, when plugged in to a mount that can control a focuser, can be controlled through that software. Alternatively, if you are using a mount that has no focuser control and is not computer controlled, you'll need a FCUSB from Shoestring to get it working on its own.

I think you are using an EQ6 pro? From memory you could control those through a serial to usb connection but they don't have a port for controlling a focuser. I think you'll need a FCUSB then. I have one which I am happy to sell.
