Completed my first imaging run with the new focuser last night and it worked perfectly as we expect from Moonlight. As with any new configuration it took a bit of time to work out the exact focal point position for my camera but once locked in position it was stable all night long. There are a couple more photos attached. Note that my choice of spacer means that I run with the tube extended more than if I had added the smaller base spacer as well; this was my choice because I wanted to keep as much weight off the focuser as possible. The focuser tube in that position does not leak light as far as I can tell, and it is rock solid with no slop in it. This position also allows me to get to the lock screws easily.
