Hi
I have a Meade 80mm APO refractor and although it gives great images I am not so impressed by the Crayford focuser. It is coarse in operation making fine focusing difficult and I have noticed that when the lock mechanism is used this moves the focus slightly off. Consequently I do not
use the lock but tighten up the front friction knob. However, this makes focusing more difficult. I know that some have retrofitted this scope with
a vernier type focuser but one wonders why Meade could not have gone the extra yard to instal a good focuser on what is otherwise an optically fine little scope.
Cheers Peter
