Hello,

I’m looking a new scope to replace a wide field setup and one that I was considering has the Starlight Instruments focuser and it’s recommended that an Optec focuser is used. I’ve reached out to Starlight and they are getting me some info whether it can be adapted but I thought I’d ask AB’s community if they are using an EAF on this focuser?

Any and all feedback is welcome and thanks in advance!

Thank for the info Roy! It looks like it should be something I can easily modify to make the bracketry work for the focuser.

I use a Sesto Senso 2 with mine and it mounts directly to the focuser without any need for brackets.
