For visual use with a fast Dob the SIPS is the Rolls Royce of focuser setups. It is a Feathertouch focuser with a built in TeleVue Paracorr. Wayne at Starlight Instruments is very helpful and they have most adaptors to connect the Feathertouch to your existing focuser base, or can machine parts up to suit.

The setup is not cheap, however you can buy the focuser first and add the Paracorr component later. The focuser in the SIPS setup has the 1.5" drawtube length. It's one of the better mods I have done to my Dob as far as improving the performance and enjoyment out of it.
