New ZWO EAF-N with Hand Controller and External Temperature Sensor

Description:
An evolution of the very popular ZWO EAF motor, the EAF-N (Electronic Automatic Focuser – standard version) retains all the strengths of its predecessor while offering improved precision and stability. It automates focusing on many telescopes to ensure accurate and reliable adjustments, essential in astrophotography.

Its modular design allows easy installation on most Crayford or rack-and-pinion focusers from brands such as Sky-Watcher, William Optics, Takahashi, FeatherTouch, and others, using the included adapters. For certain models, specific optional adapters may be required. The device connects via USB to a computer or to ASIAIR, and is fully compatible with autofocus software via ASCOM.

The focusing motor is electronically driven with a 7.5° step angle and a 1:128 gear reduction, resulting in 6144 steps per revolution for ultra-fine adjustments. The ZWO EAF-N supports loads up to 5 kg, making it suitable for both compact and advanced imaging setups. It can be operated manually using an optional hand controller or fully automated.

This EAF-N kit includes a hand controller and an external temperature sensor, offering added comfort and better thermal compensation during imaging sessions.
