This bracket allows you to mount a ZWO Electronic Automatic Focuser (EAF)
onto your William Optics Redcat telescope.
The drive system is belt driven and results in zero additional backlash.
See the autofocus image. You will notice that the V-curve is
very symmetrical and the "V" is nice and sharp. This means the backlash
is very low and any backlash is likely from the EAF itself.
The side opposite the EAF has a standard Synta shoe/saddle for mounting
additional accessories such as an ASIAir or Pegasus Powerbox etc.
Redcat 51 notes
: The bracket can be mounted with or without the top handle and
different length mounting screws are provided. The design also allows
the bracket to remain on the scope even when the dew shield is reversed,
covering the rubber grip for transport.
