Moonlite

Hi Les,

I was using an Eye opener on my 10" Meade LX200GPS and loved it.

Currently though, I have a Moonlite focuser and it came with its own threaded flange which threads onto the back of the Meade's thread which is an exceptional piece of work. The main focuser then attaches to that and can easily be rotated etc. On the one I ordered, (there are a few types), it is designed to have a 6.3 focal reducer inserted into it at just the right place and out of the way. Great idea and the camera goes straight into the focuser. The hole is big and not restricted. You order whatever flange to suit.

I would recommend getting the flange from Moonlite as the cost may be similar, (no idea really without checking). Email Ron at Moonlite if you have questions and/or info on selecting the best flange and draw tube. Their web site is pretty good on info.

Best add on I've done on the Meade.

Cheers,

Damien.
