Hi Andrew,

Glad to hear you got your 10:1 GSO focuser working properly. Sometimes as you found out they need a little tinkering to get the best out of them. While they aren't quite as nice as a premium American made focuser like a Feathertouch or something like that, they are an excellent focuser considering their price point. No need to upgrade for the moment at least IMO.

Cheers
John B
