Unfortunatley, the FS60cp focus plate is different- It has only one screw ...

Vikas,  Find someone who possesses 3-D Printing design skills.  Lots of EAF holders already exist for other scopes.  I utilize one myself.  From what I am looking at, it doesn't seem overly complex, other than modifying the flexible EAF transition connector.  Jay

Vikas, it looks the 60CB.

Here is a topic showing how to.

I have a Pegasus focus cube on the FOA-60 (same as FS-60CB). Works with the default mounting plate that comes with the focuser.

I'm using the StarlightInstruments PDSM focuser on my FS-60CB. In addition, you need a MEF-3 micro focuser and an Optec FocusLynx controller.

What I really like with the PDSM is, that it has a very compact positioning of the motor and it needs only one (ethernet) cable to connect. That's why I am using this one or the HSM focuser on all of my scopes.


Cheers
Wolfgang
