Robo-Focus on Orion 80ED

Mounting the Robo-Focus onto the 80ED is achieved by using the 80ED's focus plate screws while allowing the tension thumbscrew access through the mounting plate. NO DRILLING is needed and when removed, the 80ED is untouched/unmarred. I had to manufacture my own brass adapter to get things to work. The aluminum sheet material proved to be too flexible and led to errors in focusing.
