Hi Robert.

Mine is on a 10" GSO Newt, and I love it. I didn't buy the motorised one, I bought the normal CR2 with 8:1 fine focus knob. I motorised it DIY style, with thanks to RAJAH235 making a motor for me.

You can see it here in this thread.

You can also see more of my moonlite here on the DIY page.

Hope that answers your questions.

If the reason for putting a moonlight on the ed80 is that the standard crayford isnt holding the weight of your imaging camera, there is a focuser mod which will fix this and maybe save you some moolah
