I have a FT micro on the LX200 as well as a moonlight with stepper motor and both work very well. I also have a moonlite 2 speed manual on a meade ed 80 as well as a 2.5" FT on my FLT98CF. The moonlite has a much lighter and smoother feel when focusing manually then the FT which has a heavier and chunkier feel to it. The moonlight has served very well for both AP and visual with zero flex under heavy loads, its just rock solid. I am yet to test the FT for AP but remember AlexN having problems with flex..will just have to wait and see. Now for the most important bit......Ron Newman eats Starlight instruments for breakfast when it comes to customer service. I have never waited more than 8 hours for an email reply from Ron (does he ever sleep) and his advice has been invaluable. Ron is a good listener and works hard to make you what you need. My very recent experience with the FT folks has been exactly the opposite although I won't go into detail here be very careful when ordering if your adaptor is not a shelf item or even if it is. It could take a very long long time to get a resolution. Needless to say it will be a cold day in hell before I buy anything else from them or recommend them to anybody else.
