Ive been moonlite-ing
Well, Mrs R and I have looked through it. There were fires out by our favorite dark sky site and eventually the seeing turned to (expletive deleted) but we had about an hour of GREAT viewing.
The difference between the Moonlite and the original generic 1 speed focuser was unbelievable. With the laser collimator in, you can wind the focus from fully in to fully out and the dot doesn't move at all.
Its action is firm but does not "jump" when you begin a focus change, or backlash after you find focus. (and errr, call me shallow, but I love the heavy industrial "dont play with this at home kiddys" look of it.)
The ability to easily fine focus was fantastic. Mrs R said that it was like trading up to a bigger scope because the details of DSO's and Jupiter were so defined.
As that little geeky guy in the Shannons add says .. "It was love at first sight."
