Four electronic autofocusers compared side by side: ZWO EAF, ZWO EAF Pro, PrimaLuceLab Sesto Senso 3 and the new Askar WAF. Price, weight, connectivity and features, tested on my own rig.
I put all four next to each other because the EAF has been the default answer for years and there are now three credible alternatives. The short version: all four have a right to exist, and which one is right for you comes down to what you actually image with.
In this video:
Hands-on with the EAF, Sesto Senso and WAF in front of the rig
The full four-way comparison on price, weight, connectivity and features
Installing the Askar WAF, including the quick release
The Askar app and connecting the WAF to NINA
Askar WAF: bit.ly/3Sx092j
Disclosure: Askar sent me the WAF free of charge for this review.
