And yes, I too am usually quite quick to change my focuser's. I use the JMI focuser on my ED80, as the one that came with it was just plain awful. I also use a JMI on my SCT as well, to negate the need to focuser by moving the mirror.

Cheers Peter
Hi Peter,

Yes, for sure I have heard the focusers on the bigger WO scopes are very good. My only experience with WO was a Megrez 72mm and the focuser on that wasn't very good. The Meade one, as I said was awful (but I did nevertheless still get some great shots from it so we can overplay the problem, especially with small scopes).

My APM 152 has Starlight FT and it is magnificent
