Its needs to be connected to some kind of computer that controls the focusing. I use either a Eagle or NUC

I believe that you may be able to use a Celestron focuser motor via CPWI although I've never done it.
In regards to EAF just connect it to the same computer that your mount is connected too - there's also an option to fit a hand controller for the EAF if really needed
