The original focuser died on this, but it was pretty terrible for imaging originally anyway. I upgraded the focuser to a red Moonlite (upgraded version including dual rate tri-knob + shaft lock -- enables you to lock the focus without shifting it in the process, something that drove me nuts with the original focuser).
I paid $461USD for the Moonlite (including shipping from the US). At today's exchange rates that comes to ~$600.
Bonus illuminated reticule included free of charge.
Asking $1000 for the kit, a saving of about $699 off retail.
