Hi all. I would like to get a motorized focuser for my Tak CN-212, for both Newt and Cass modes. Does anyone know if this is possible? It seems that every focuser I look at lists the CN-212 as the scope it doesn't work with!! I know I will need some adapters to allow the focuser to attach to the unusual size threads, but I just don't know what ones to get. Ideally, I would like to use the same focuser at both ends of the scope, but by using different adapters. I could use any help you can offer.
Thanks,
Tyler

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the CN212 focus by moving the primary anyway? If so, how about a Robofocus motor on the focus knob?

HTH,
Eric
