Installed Accufocus to a JMI NGF-DX1

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

HI all,

I managed to get an adapter turned up at work out of aluminium, so I could install my Accufocus to my NGF-DX1 crayford focuser. It was pretty straight forward, a little bush of 8.5mm diameter with an ID of 3/16" which had a small hole drilled into it to allow one of the grub screws to pass through and hold onto the focuser shaft. The grub screws on the accufocus were just long enough to allow me to do this.The adapter is only about 15mm long just enough to hold onto the shaft and long enough not to stop the coupler from doing it's job.

Here are a few pics of the finished job. Also a pic on my tube rings too
