Pegasus focuser

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has seen, or used, a Pegasus focuser. I've seen these the on the internet whilst browsing for ways to autofocus.

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Wozza

Is it another focusser that means it can not be dis-connected to use manual focus and you are stuck with it, I wouldn't use and electronic focusser that can not instantly dis-engage to allow manual focus and re-engage

Do you mean mean "remote focus" not Auto focus ?

Yeah, definitely auto focus. I want to use Ascom enabled software to automatically focus for me.
I do astroimaging, as opposed to visual stuff nowadays.
Cheers, Warren
