The focusser is the standard SkyWatcher one - It's OK and I don't think you'll NEED a crayford straight away - I'm still using the Standard focusser on my GSO 12" Dob, one day I might upgrade to a 10:1 but I soooooo many other bits to buy first

Thanks again for all of your help. I ended up not getting the scope. Someone else put in an offer that was higher than originally asked so it ended up something like an ebay auction and I couldn't afford it. I've now settled on getting either the 8" or 10" GSO dob from Andrews this time next week. I'm going to post a question in the relevant section now about advice re the 8" or the 10". If you have time, I'd be grateful for any advice. It's about eyepieces and use with short or longer focal ratios (the 10" is f5 while the 8" is f6). I can't afford $300 eyepieces so I wonder if the 8" is the safer buy? Plus is $200 cheaper! Hard decision to make before the weekend! Thanks again.
