l finally fitted my new focuser and find it probably the best accessory l've bought for my scope, as usual the quality of the W.O products is superb and works very well.
There are a number of Crayford focusers available for SCT's as l think Beren and Rumples have fitted different models, any other SCT owners if bothered by mirror shift should look at one of these as they make viewing a lot more enjoyable.

Looking good Mick......

After seeing the WO Dielectric and Zenithstar they have some real quality products.

Nice one mick , classy looking piece of gear.... you can retrofit a 2 speed knob on them as well if the need arises http://www.william-optics.com/wowebs/prod_acc/foc_2s110_mfr/features0.htm

l tried to buy the 2 speed version but there are none in the country, l'll probably have a go at motorizing this one in the new year.

If you buy a motorized unit the same handbox that drives the moonlite can be brought separately , like Paul said its not the classiest piece of kit but it works well plus the autofocus one can be brought as well
