Meade SCT focussers

I assume you already have the "normal" electric focusser (#1206 I think). I actually use both on my LX200.
The MAPUG site has some great solutions to improving the control of both the std and zero shift motors by including dynamic braking ie no over run when you release the button.
The zero shift like many others uses a 2" barrel not the SCT thread, so if you want to continue to make use of your SCT accessories, invest in the Orion 2" prime focus adaptor. This can be separated into two parts which then screw onto the SCT bits. Ideal for the diagonal and the reducers, etc.
