moon, saturn and jupiter

Here are pics from last night, the forecast was for good seeing so I had to get out and try the powermate on 2 day old moon. The images are noisy, but I'm happy with the detail. The region is the north-western edge of Mare Crisium (south-eastern edge on northern hemisphere maps).
Focusing is a real issue at the moment, I think I need to look into getting a simple motor setup. Does anyone know of good kits out there for remote focus control?
Cheers
Stephen
