W.O. GT81 (2013) and ZWO EAF? anyone tried this?
Hi there, it didn't take me long to tire of manual focusing via various ATP focussing tools. My most likely and affordable electronic focuser to this end would be the ZWO EAF but there doesn't appear to be anywhere to connect the bracket to the underside of the existing focusing assembly, the only two holes are the tensioner grub screw hole and the focus lock, which i assume will be redundant / free once the EAF is in place. Any suggestions from experience appreciated.
BTW, for some strange reason i get a better focus simply using theAPT magnifier tool than using the Batinov Aid in conjunction with my Batinov mask, which is well out.

It would be good to see the underside of your focuser to offer a better comment. Please post a pic if you get a chance.
I've mounted theEAF on my Stellarvue SV102T and my Explore Scientific ED80 easily enough and both focusers are different. I did have to pick up some longer bolts for the ED80.
