it took a bit of fiddling to get it set the way i wanted it but once it was going, it was worth every cent
Correct me if I missed it monoxide, but was the focuser change you did for your newt or ED80 ?

Im curious what focusers others/yourself have used for the standard ED80 R&P focuser.


Does the ST80 and ED80 have the same internal outside tube diameter.
If Im to get a new focuser, I just wanna be sure I get the right one.
