WO Skywatcher replacement focuser
My new WO Synta replacement focuser arrived today cost $300 odd but well worth it.

As you can see from the attached photos typical WO build quality.

Undid three screws took out the old focuser slotted in the new simple as that the fit was perfect.

The focuser is as smooth as a babies bottom, has a fully rotatable head so screw down the diagonal and you can rotate it at will or lock it in place your choice.

3" of travel in the draw tube focused everything from my 4mm to 40mm without a hitch,

My only complaint is the dovetail shoe and bracket supplied was not the standard Synta/Skywatcher dovetail shoe which you'd expect when the focusers meant to be a replacement for the standard focuser.

Unfortunately you either need to buy the WO finder rings and bracket or source a dovetail plate from somewhere else or as I have temporarily attach the finder to the scope rings.
