Non-SCT peers (especially Mike) are always commenting on how crappy the coarse focuser is on my scope

It's true, I have
I just never felt comfortable using the focuser on Rod's scope.. every time you touch it the image shifts back and forwards and there's no fine control so it goes from in focus to out of focus really quickly - I never felt confident that I'd achieved the crispest focus.
I know the microfocuser is there, but Rod has a bias against it since he broke it in the first week of owning the scope
The crayford he used on Saturday night was a 100% improvement. A fine focuser would be even better, but at a cost of course.
I'm not sure whether moonlite do one for SCT's - they talk about
refractor focusers but they don't mention LX200's.. does anyone know if they would fit?
But their dual speed are tops, that's what I use.
Anyway i'm glad you're gonna get it sorted out Rod, you'll be very happy you did.
