Hi Ben,
Thanks for your answer, i tried INDI-Webcam and V4L driver, but both only worked with a resolution of 640x480px.
That was far too little for me. 2 days ago i tried it again and it suddenly worked better.
1280x720p @V4L is currently set and it works. Maybe it was an update that was installed a few days ago...
Now my setup is ready to test and the weather sucks

my last status is from November 2022, there were no problems yet. To this day I haven't been able to take pictures because of the weather or work.

Hi Magnus,

no, I didn't do any step count calculations. EKOS does this very well. Torque is not a problem with the 27:1 gearbox. Even with only 1mA at 12V there is more than enough torque for such setups. My camera is hanging upside down on the Newton and the focuser has no problem with it.
I bought the controller here: www.ebay.de/itm/132580666482 (20,12€)

Hi Magnus,
I bought a Tic-500 controller for about 25€ on Ebay. Yes, it's more expensive than in the US but it was still OK. I'm European too
Then I built myself a focuser:
MagneTicFocuser
