The focuser itself is OK, but you'd be best served replacing it with another option if you want to get into imaging seriously. I managed to tune mine, but it still was so-so at best.

Your spacing also seems off, and using a reducer not specifically designed for the scope will mean you will need to fiddle to get it right.
Um, ok, you're telling me that I've been sold a pup?
