Event Horizon (EV) Focuser Bases for
Explorer Scientific Crayford Focuser Replacement

If you are planning on replacing an Explorer Scientific Crayford Focuser with one of our Event Horizon (EV) Focusers, you will need to determine the version of the Explorer Scientific focuser in order to choose the correct EV Base for mounting our focuser.

The first step is to determine the Version of the Explorer Scientific (ES) focuser as documented here.  The picture below shows two ES focusers.  Compare the base of the focusers.  The focuser on the left has no lip.  The focuser on the right has a lip (indentation) at the bottom of the base.
