my new focuser

Ive had a AG12 for a few years now which was originally fitted with a standard focuser, in itself was ok as long as you dont want to hang masses of weight off it. Ive finally got around to upgrading it to an FLI PDF focuser complete with support cradles a very solid arrangement I just need to upgrade my mount now....... always something else to do.
Ive also fitted a secondary heater inside the holder, much neater now, the uk suffers very badly with high humidity and unfortunately dew control is a must.

At moment I have a G11 which is right at its limits now, I have plans to install a much heavier duty mount, I've got a G41 made by Gemini which needs a computer so that is my next project.

Any comments welcome
