The moonlite can not be upgraded to a motorized unit after its been sent to you. You'd have to send it back and have them perform the the upgrade.. Also, once the moonlite is motorized, you can not use it manually from then on.

The FT you can upgrade to motorized at any time either by using the FT system or Robofocus.. It is a simple matter of undoing two Allen head bolts to remove the motorized unit and use the focuser manually if you so choose.. If the scope is going to be used as both a visual and an imaging instrument, I'd recommend the FT..

I think you would find that the FT weighs less than a moonlite... Thats my experience with them thus far... My moonlite was a proverbial brick in comparison to the FT.
