:S My initial setup will be an Orion 80mm ED riding atop a Meade DS16. A Canon 40D will be the imaging camera hooked up to the Orion. A Meade DSI will be the guider hooked up to the DS16. I am investigating remote electronic focusing and would appreciate any advice on the best route to go. I was thinking Orion's Accufocus for the 80mm, but don't know what would work with the DS 16 which has an older JMI Crayford-style 2" focuser.I plan to control the focus through a PC. Thanks for all replies.
