Moonlite with stepper motor and moonlite controller. Solid as a house brick and the best value 2" focuser for an SCT this side of a van slyke. It is accurate with perfect repeatability, has masses of grunt to lift heavy loads and locks the camera in place via 3 thumb screws on a brass compression ring. The two speed controller comes with temp compensation and also allows the use of the stepper controlled focuser for visual stuff (ie it moves a lot faster at the high speed setting).

Feather touch make a nice little add on that replaces the main focuser knob for the primary converting it into a 10.1 setup. This is also worth considering if you want to do a lot of visual observing as well.
