Lastly does is lock well and what can you note about its performance before and after fitting - how did you diagnose how much improvement you saw please!

Matthew,
I've got a FeatherTouch Micro on my C8. Man it works a treat.
Mirrir shift is ALMOST totally removed.
I get it as close as I can with the micro & then I use the motor focuser to get that final little bit.

Get onto the guys at FeatherTouch directly. They are great to deal with & very helpful.
