Question is pretty much as it says on the tin.
I'm looking to improve my ability to fine focus on my recently acquired C8.
I'm really quite happy with the scope in general without having a great deal to compare it to and am pleased with the results when I manage to get a subject in 'good' focus.
The issue is that sometimes I am finding it hard to hit that sweet spot without a lot of back and forth searching.
I may be slightly over exaggerating the effort required but I think either of these products may offer a simple solution.
The question is which one ?
Whilst I like the concept of an electric focuser I think I would prefer the manual option to avoid any additional wires or the requirement for more batteries.
KISS right ?
The feather touch focuser looks like a brilliant piece of kit not only from a aesthetic point of view but from the reviews I've read a micro focuser of some description is a must have add on.
Anybody with any experience with these specific focusers on a SCT ?
Aso a 'local' supplier has an electric focuser priced at near $600
but I have seen them sub 200 from OS sources.
The FT focuser I believe can be had for around the 150 mark but again from OS.
Are there any local suppliers that can be recommended ?
Cheers in advance.
