Price for the accufocuser was $89 from Bintel John. I will do a report once I have put it on the scope and tried it out. Initial feeling is awesome, had it in my hand and only felt a very slight vibration from the gearbox inside. It wouldnt be enough to ruin your viewing thats for sure. On fine you can hardly feel it. The gearing restricts you from turning the focuser by hand which is a little unfortunate, I would have liked to have seen some sort of clutch system straight out of the box. It is very quiet too, but I will see how the sound is on my metal tube, but with a bit of mousepad and nylon bolts I doubt noise will be a problem. It would be good if Orion designed a universal coupler for it instead of making it just for their type of focuser, I am sure they would sell a hell of alot more. I am taking my focuser to work to get the two mated up by our machinist, should be ready in a day or so.
