Crayford focuser
Hi folks
ok ive made the decision to go with a dob. At first i thought 10" but now re-looking at the 8" mainly due to portability. (8= $549 & 1= $699 + post) So both are at Bintel the only difference apart from size and cost going by the net site are
* 1o".... 'are equipped with a smooth 2" Crayford focuser featuring extra smooth 10:1 fine control for precise focussing even at high power'
* 8"... 'are equipped with a smooth 2" Crayford focuser without backlash.'
1st... im assuming these are different. If so is it the focusser on the 10" more desirable. Can i then ask the man at bintell to include it on the 8.
2nd...If i buy the 8 it will also leave me a little money up my sleeve. I've been reading up on the Telrad. Is that also something a beginner will use. I also thought maybe a 2x barlow.
I must admit my daughter and i are having a ball with the binoc's & a star chart at the moment. If anyone can give me some feedback on the focuser etc that would be great. This will be my last 'big' purchase for a bit and i want to get best value for money (dont we all..lol)
