This is a great add for my telescope and CCD imager. I can focus remotely or from the hand set, I can also record the focus settings for the various eye pieces and imager and simply type in the number .

Works with star sense hand controller, Celestron PC software and NINA .

Is powered from the aux ports, fitting instructions are comprehensive, simply ready carefully first .

Also great service and advice from FLO

but this was surprisingly easy to install all the relevant drivers, software etc and works like a dream.

Make sure you install CPWI for it all to work well.

Thanks FLO. Excellent as always.

I bought this to go with my C9.25 to alleviate wobble at the eyepiece when re-focusing. It does that very well, but I also found I'm getting sharper focus as it's a lot more accurate than my aging hands are.

It took around an hour to install, but much of that was watching you tube videos to make sure I got it right. The instructions are good, but there's a few things you need to be careful with, as that a previous reviewer pointed out. I've mounted mine sideways to give more clearance, but with the tube well forward, there's no issues with going to the zenith.

On my Evolution there's a single cable which supplies power and control to the focuser, making it easy to set up. It automatically integrates with the hand-controller, providing a new option on the menu. (If you don't see the new option on older controllers, be sure to upgrade the controller firmware with a newer version). Focus is controlled using the "scroll" buttons which are easily identified in the dark, meaning the control of both focusing and movement can be done without taking your eye away from the eyepiece.

It fits and works well with the Focal Reducer f/6.3, which requires a big change in focus position when swapping in and out. With the motor you can just tap in the position and let it get on with it.

Noise wise, it's no louder than the slewing motor, so shouldn't annoy any sleeping neighbours.

Expensive add on, but well worth it in my opinion.

Excellent service as usual from FLO - I'm using the focuser on an Edge 9.25 and it fits easily and neatly on this scope and sits clear with or without the Celestron 0.7 reducer. The celestron software provided works well and no problem achieving focus with Bahtinov mask but did have difficulty with software crashing using ascom driver although only had quick try with this and probably down to me not setting it up properly.

1 - moins cher chez FLO qu'ailleurs
2 - livraison très rapide (2 jours) par DHL
3 - produit facile à installer
4 - mode d'emploi détaillé en Français, ce qui est rare
5 - et enfin satisfait du moteur de mise au point

Perfetto!!

An absolutely worthwhile accessory. You should be careful when installing. The cover on the C8, which must be reinstalled, must not be too tight. Otherwise it will be difficult to adjust the mirror.

Great product. Easy to install and easy to use. Allows for remote focusing. Focusing procedure can be automated in the imaging software.

From now on I think I will not be able to go without it.

Particularly useful with a Celestron computerised mount BUT, whether using with a Celestron mount or other brand, it's essential that it's calibrated to your particular scope to ensure that the "Move To" a particular index point works. Installation is straightforward if you follow the instructions BUT (another one because the instructions don't mention this) ensure that your scopes focuser is set at roughly mid-way before starting the calibration routine.. This is because the motors first movement when calibrating is clockwise and if your focuser is screwed too close to its clockwise limit the focus motor can't start its calibration routine and will jam (as mine did!). Otherwise calibration is simply a case of pressing buttons and leaving the motor to do its job. Once calibrated the "Move To" routine is also straightforward and accurate, which means that, having achieved focus with different EPs, camera etc. those index positions can be noted and used when those bits of kit are to be focused again. The "Move To" facility doesn't have to be used because both the Celestron handsets and the Celestron Focuer Utility programme enable the motor to be moved in "MoveIn/MoveOut" mode in any event and which, of course, needs to be used for initial focusing to aquire index positions. The motor weighs about 15ozs so check your balance.

Surprised how small this focuser is, set up was very easy with calibration etc.
Not had a chance to try it out yet.
Thank You First Light Optics for your Great sevice
