Hi All,

I dont like my focuser.. I have a standard GSO R&P focuser and I find it is quite stiff and hard to get optimal focus, especially since I have to tweak it, wait for the vibration to stop, tweak it again and so on.. the movement seems quite coarse also so it is fiddly to get it to perfect focus without overshooting. So, I'm thinking (once the dust settles on my recent purchases) I might upgrade it, I was wondering what your opinions are on moving to a crayford style focuser vs motorising the R&P? From the little research I've done it seems Moonlite focusers are a good option fo a crayford at around USD300, but I saw someone advertising in Australian S&T a motorised focuser kit for R&P focusers for AUD95.. has anyone gone the motorised route? comments? On the face of it the motorised option would appear to be good from a vibration standpoint?
