I've been in touch with Wayne at Starlight Instruments and am putting aside pennies for a you-beaut Feathertouch with automated focusing.
It seems a little sad that the focuser will end up costing about the same as the telescope itself. But, I guess I can always re-use the focuser if I change refractors in the future.

I have a Moonlite focuser on my 127mm scope and its beautiful. I went for the dual speed with integrated lock mechanism. I thought the electric focuser would be too proud ie stick out too much- to use it in the case and with dual speed the focuser movements would be fine enough. Dealing with Moonlight was a real pleasure. Initially I ordered the wrong adapter plate as their site was a being updated for these focusers for the 127mm. Anyway he sent me a new adapter plate without waiting for the other to be returned at NO cost. It just screwed into place, was collimatable and worked a charm.
Just love it and I would seriously suggest that for ~$500 its a great purchase.
