JMI Event Horizon Robotic ZWO EAF Telescope Focuser - Newtonian Base
The name is a mouthful - what it means is that we've made an adaptation to mount the ZWO EAF focus motor on our Crayford Focuser that will then mount on a Newtonian telescope tube. We provide the focuser mechanics and you provide your ZWO EAF focus motor. Your motor mounts on our focuser with two screws and the couplers already included with the ZWO EAF focuser kit you bought.
- Control focus from ASI AIR and ASCOM interfaces
- Autofocus using ASI AIR and other popular software (NINA, Sequence Generator Pro, etc)
- ZERO image shift
- Friction drive for backlash free focusing
- CNC Machined Crayford Design
- Draw tube length of travel is configurable at the time of purcase (see drop down menu)
- Compatible with Newtonian telescope tubes from 7.25″ diameter or larger as well as flat focuser boards
- Weight: 1.4 pounds
- Load Capacity: 8 pounds
- Individually assembled and tested in our own facility
- 100% Made in USA
Note: Fitting a new focuser onto an existing telescope takes careful consideration and engineering. This is not a one size fits all solution. There are many publicly available software tools available to help with this, have a look around on the internet forums for more guidance.
Optional Optical Adapters:
- Select JMI Combination 1.25-inch Eyepiece and T-Thread Adapter, ADPT2-1.25T for camera use. JMI Adapter for mounting a CCD or other camera, with a standard T-thread, into a 2" drawtube. It also doubles as a 1.25" adapter. A T-adapter holds a CCD camera more securely than a standard 1.25" adapter. The adapter uses a compression ring to secure inserted equipment. It includes standard 48mm filter threads on the other end of the adapter (inserted into focuser end).
- Select Farpoint 2 Inch Focuser to 1.25 Inch Eyepiece Adapter, FAV100 for a visual 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter. Farpoint 2 Inch Focuser to 1.25 Inch Eyepiece Adapter features a non-marring compression ring for precise centering of telescope eyepieces. Threaded for both 2 inch and 1.25 inch filters and has a stop to prevent long eyepieces from damaging filters.
