This electrical focus motor allows you to focus your Telescope without touching the focuser by hand - this is very helpful when trying to avoid unwanted movement of the telescope while trying to focus at high magnifications as even the slightest touch of the telescope causes vibrations making precise focus a big challenge

Apart from this, it is simply more comfortable and relaxing if you only need to press a button to control the telescope focuser and concentrate only on looking through the eyepiece or at the screen to reach the best possible focus sharpness.

For astrophotographers, a motor-driven focus drive like this is almost a necessity.
The image of the star is on the screen of the computer which is often located a bit further away from the focuser on the telescope, especially with Newtonian telescopes. A motor-driven focuser reduces the constant need to stand up and adjust the manual focuser.
Two large push-buttons on the controller allows for changing the direction of focuser movement and the controlling knob allows for adjusting the speed.

Mounting to focusers:
Included is a versatile base with long bores for adapting the this Focuser to the bottom side of the focuser on the telescope. The base is used for fixing the motor securely to the focuser itself.

Then, the motor itself is connected directly to the focuser shaft by a flexible connection.

This focuser is suitable for Skywatcher and Orion Crayford focusers, but can also be easily adapted to many other fosusers with a bit of technical skill.

Our Recommendation:
If you are a planetary imager or are visually looking at the Moon or Planets through the eyepiece then we would definitely recommend this focuser as you will likely be viewing at very high magnification meaning any vibrations as a result of manual focusing will be amplified much more and will make reaching optimal focus and sharpness a very difficult task.

  • Power supply: 9 V internal battery (eg. 6LR61 Rectangle type)
  • Cable: Flexible spiral cable - up to 1 m
