A good focuser is just as important as the optics. Electronic focus control and precise mechanics are a must, especially for astrophotography. Here you will find a large selection of suitable "hardware".
The external motor controller (XMC) was designed to expand the focus capabilities of the "Ultimate Powerbox v2" (supports a 2nd focus controller) and adds focus functionality to the "Pocket Powerbox Advance".
Works with bipolar or unpolar stepper motors
Full, half, 1/4 and 1/8 step (microstepping)
Large range of supported stepper motors
Connector for environmental sensor
Protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature
Made especially for Ultimate Powerbox v2 and Pocket Powerbox Advance

Focus fast, reliably and accurately your telescope using a stepper or DC motor and this controller.
versatile, you can use your own motor instead of having to use one of PegasusAstro - and using another motor requires (perhaps) another cable, not another controller
PC operation is standard, but manual operation does not even need a separate hand controller
Temperature probe included
Backlash compensation possible via firmware
ASCOM and INDI compliant, but comes with a standalone program for Windows
Firmware upgrade possible

This geared stepper motor has 0.0625° steps, 60 Ncm torque and little backlash, so you can focus your telescope fast and accurately with it - even with heavy imaging equipment.
Useful resolution of 0.0625° (3.75 arc min) per step
High torque for handling higher loads
Low backlash making backlash compensation easier
RJ45 socket allows using standard network cable for connecting to PegasusAstro´s Dual Motor Focus Controller
Universal L Shaped Bracket allows mechanical connection to many focusers
Supplied couplers allow mechanical connection to many focusing shafts
