Of course you could buy a new focuser but the ring is a much cheaper option. I think Andrews and Bintel have them.

Already did the laser focusser check with a Cheshire as best we could at the same time as we collimated the scope with the TAK Microscope, but will do it again after the following upgrades are aquired next month...
Looks like I'll have to order the following...
- Tilt adjustment ring (from Andrew's)
- Secondary dew heater from (Kendrick: Canada - Bintel is out of stock)
- Feathertouch Focusser & adapter (from the USA)
- Losmandy weights (no idea where from as yet)
I'm used to imaging with refractors straight out of the box, so this is a new challenge - all good fun! Will sort it out eventually and those galaxies arn't going anywhere soon
