Mizar's new focuser

Well I am in the good books because I fitted the old LP 10/1 focuser off my iStar onto the wife's sweet 80mm f12.5 Mizar refractor , a perfect fit .
It makes the scope so much easier to use now as the original , tho useable had been totally abused in the past and no end of playing with could get it smooth , shame as it is well made a very good focuser but the LP for only $49 from Andrews is so much better .
I also had to mount an 8x50 finder I had lying around , but that's no problem .

Here are a few photos , we had a small star party Saturday night , my darling is loving this .

Brian.
