Yep - another vote for the Bintel 10:1. I fitted one to my 8" Newtonian a while ago and it's a pleasure to use. One thing to note is that you can undo the small hex grubscrews at the base and rotate the entire focuser throat around its axis so that your focusing shaft is set to be near-parallel to the ground for most viewing. A nice feature in such a well-priced unit.

Just be aware that the four holes in the square base are set at 70mm - which fits most 8" units up front - but I believe the 10" and up Newtonians typically need wider spacing. Be sure to mention this to Bintel and they'll give you the appropriate base plate that they've recently produced.

Oh - one more thing.... you'll probably find that you also need either a 35mm or 50mm 2" extension tube to reach focus again.

Cheers
