- Page 6 Attaching the EFA Kit to the CDK The EFA Electronics box can be attached to several places on the telescope back plate. There are eight ¼-20 threaded holes on the back of the telescope. The EFA mounting bracket, already attached to the electronics box, can be mount- ed to any one of the eight ¼-20 threaded holes.
- Page 7 Mounting the Hand Controller The hand control mounting bracket allows the hand control to be mounted to the tele- scope back plate using the included mounting post.

Likewise, when used in conjunction with the optional IRF90, not only can you control the focus travel, but using the CCW/CW buttons will rotate the focuser counter-clockwise and clockwise respectively.
