My focuser flexture problems are less than most people with this scope.. Mostly due to the fact that my focuser is only racked out 14mm to reach focus.. Also, the effect of the focuser slop is lessened by the fairly small sensor in my ST9E... Yes, it does droop a little bit, although I've found having the focuser positioned upside down as seen in the pics with the locking screw tightly secured, it can be minimised to a useable level... A feathertouch motorised focuser is on its way from the states to rectify the problem completely...

Thanks for your comment Marc, I agree, M16 is the best of the bunch, Although I do really think the M8 image has potential to with some time spent reprocessing it..

Cheers.
Alex.
