I got the CR2 on both of my scopes...do take notice that the fine focus on the CR2 is the one that is set up to be butter smooth...I find the rough focus is a bit "clunky" on the CR2 but still lots better than my old R&P that was on the 8 inch and comparable to what I found with the JMI...

In hindsite, I am not sure if I needed the CR2...I only do visual stuff so the CR2 is probably a bit overkill...but, what they heck, it is only money!

Do make sure that you get the "spacer" measured right...not to make you nervous or anything but I did not do my measuring quite accurate enough and in the end needed the tube extension...it was "close" and with my GSO plossl eyepieces it worked fine but I found I needed just a bit more out travel on that scope for my TV gear...and then got the tube extension...repacing the JMI was no problem (low profile to low profile)...

Anyway, just make sure that you get your measurements right the first time...measure twice cut once...Good Luck!

The Moonlite "Red" looks really cool!
