Does anyone know if the ZWO EAF focuser is compatible with the APM - LZOS Telescope Apo Refractor 130 52mm, 3.7-inch focuser? Reason I ask is I already have the ASI Air pro . Thanks
I don't want to sound like a jerk but I can't imagine sticking an EAF on a scope like that. I understand that you already own the asiair pro but dang...

If the mechanics of the APM's focuser are sound, what's the problem with using an EAF for the motorisation/control?
I can't answer the OP's question directly, but I read here a recent purchaser of that scope applied a Sesto Senso 2 to it but had to get an adapter for it. I suspect you might need something similar.

Inclined to agree - it will work but such a great scope. I use an Optec Quick synch with mine.

Thanks all - only reason for ZWO is I have an Asi Air pro - , will take a look at Quick Synch, Senso and Pegasus too.

If this scope uses the same 3.7" RPA focuser that TSOptics uses then yes it is a direct bolt on. I only needed to get a pair of long 2mm screws to mount it up.
