Hi Guys,
Haven't posted for a while because my scope has been packed away till I can get it to do what I want. It is a Celestron Nexstar 130SLT which came with a very poor focuser which does the shimmy shake whenever I am trying to focus on an object. I've scoured the various Australian Astronomy shops online but I haven't found any that have a replacement motorised focuser to fit my 130mm diameter OTA. The closest I've seen is a Crayford focuser from Bintel which is for a 200mm OTA.
Does anybody know of a supplier who would have a focuser to fit my scope? I want to get back into observing - I even bought a NextImage camera to fit to the scope but it's a waste of time with the original focuser.
Have any of you made a successful replacement of the OEM focuser on your Newtonian Reflector scopes? (Most mails I see are by owners of SCT scopes and are of little benefit to me!)
