Probably a moot point really as I'll be going the RoboFocus route.

There is a Tak microfocuser you can fit to the 106N. I had one on mine.
It isn't the same one as on the 106ED. It may pay to ask or I'll ask for you on the Takncensored site. My initial thought is no as the 106ED has a recess for the stiffening bracket of the microfocuser which is built in to the focuser unit. The original microfocuser add on is a good unit but I found mine a tad spongy but it worked. The new one is very firm and no sponge. It isn't 10:1 like the original I think it is 6:1. Very very nice, the best of any I have used including the more famous Feathertouch.
Robofocus is the way to go anyway. Make sure you get the custom mounting plate and also the correct shaft connector for that specific scope. Robofocus standard shaft connector has a hole which is a bit too large and it causes the unit to wobble. I just got proper mounting plates and exact connectors for all my scopes because of that. The wobble meant focus increments were more accurate going in than out or the other way round.
