I've had trouble getting focus as tight as I'd like on the Meade 10" ACF SCT (same as the LX200R).
What are the options for aftermarket or electronic focusers for old bluey?

Peter,
if you are happy to swap across, when you need, the FT on the Lomo is perfect. All you need is the applicable adaptor, costs about $50?
This is what I did, used the same focuser (with motor attached) between two or three scopes.

I didn't realise it would fit, that is a great solution, I'll chase down an adapter.
Might do the same for the modified PST I'm building as well.
Thanks.

I sold one here a few months ago actually, can't recall, but might be able to track down who I sold it to. Try a "Wanted" advert. Simple adaptor to attach 2" Feather Touch to Meade 10" (I think this has the larger opening in the rear cell).
