The Moonlite DC motor focuser has variable speed. I run it fast to get close and slow it down for fine focus.

Since the CG5 is not the most stable mount in existence, I also have a Motofocus on the C8 mirror to do the rough focus. The Moonlite only has a very short focal adjustment range compared to the mirror.
