Originally bought the scope from APM in Germany.
Ordered the 10:1 from them.
Tried USA first and Bresser or Explore Scientific didn't carry them.
Went to a star party a few weeks ago and saw a 102mm Explore Scientific and looked at the focuser real close.
Mine is the new Hexafoc but it looked very much the same as the standard focuser except now it has flat sides.
Ask the guys at APM Germany they know a ton about these scopes.
The 10:1 makes it real nice and smooth now.
Focusing is way better for my old eyes.
