upgrade focuser for Celestron 130SLT

[Peg6330]

Hi All ,
I would like to upgrade the focuser on our Nexstar 130 SLT as we find it difficult to get that fine adjustment on DSO's Can you all give me some advice on the best one to get for this telescope? Price range<$300 ?
I appreciate your opinion:help:TKs!

Get a lid off a jar, biggest you can find that will still have clearance once installed. A metal lid is thinner and easier. The knob for the focuser is held on with a screw. Remove this, drill a hole in the center of the lid just big enough for the screw. Srew the lid onto your focuser over the top of the original knob. This will give you finer control for $0.
