Admittedly I am only using a DSLR , not sure how they would handle the additional weight of filter wheels , but I have done a fair bit of imaging just before the meridan without any slippage.

If I could work out how to attach images to these threads I would send you some photos of the focuser to see if they are the same as the ones you purchased.

Bob,
I'm sure my focuser would be the same as yours-the difference is you got one that worked!
I sent mine back to North Group, and they replaced it with the standard focuser. But I had already bought the Moonlite, which is absolutely superb.
Regards
Laurie
