Smile FLI PDF or Optec TCF-S3 for TeleVue NP101is

Hi All,

I would like to have your advice.

Since May, i've got one Moravian G4-16000 and its Moravian G1-301 CCD guiding camera + one SkyMeca SkyTrack 3" Off-Axis Guider + TeleVue Large Field Corrector + TeleVue adapters.

All this imaging train weights between 3.7 (8.1 lbs) and 3.8 kgs (8.37 lbs) .

In a near future, i would like to change all the TeleVue NP101is focuser system. The special piece will be made by SkyMeca (the french company who realized and made my SLIM Off-Axis Guider).

But i hesitate for the choice of the focuser for my imaging train :

The FLI PDF (4.5kg max of photographic load/ it weights 1.1kg) or the Optec TCF-S3 (9kg max of photographic load/ it weights 2.3kg).

The FLI ATLAS is Great but too expensive.

Do you have an idea ? Is there anyone who has changed a complete TeleVue NP101is focuser ?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Florent
