Feathertouch Focuser for SCT

I have just recieved my Feathertouch Micro Focuser for my C9.25 SCT. I have been looking for a solution to my fine focus problems and after much discussion ( thanks go out to Don at Bintel) I settled on the SCT replacement micro focuser instead of the in line model, due to the total length this would add to the back focus to allow the scope to come to focus. I am really impressed with how fast the guys at Starlight Instruments sent the unit (ordered on the 14th sent on the 15th arrived on the 19th!) Of course as this things are wont to do the thunderstorms and 80% cloud cover arrived 2 hours after the unit. I am really looking forward to getting to grips with the new Micro Focuser and will post up details after I try it out.

All the best paul

Hi Paul,
I look forward to your comments.
I have been thinking about something like this for a while now.
I currently use a Crayford style 10:1 focusser but it gets in the way of the LX200 mount when looking at the Zenith.

Looks like a good unnit you have there, please let us know how it goes....
Cherrs.

Plus you can motorise it, now that really makes a difference, especially for imaging.
