Hi,

I'll require an electronic focuser for setting up the Askar 151 PHQ at a remote site.

Any suggestions as to the the focuser that will work well with this scope?   I've written to Askar to find out the size of the shaft and they said 6mm.  I don't think this is correct though.

I've been looking at the PrimaLuce Sesto Senso 2 but am open to other focusers.   Besides something that will focus accurately and controllable via ASCOM and NINA, I'd like one that is straightforward to install.

Thanks!
Jerry
