new moonlite cr2

I was so happy this morning I had to share. My I-phone does not take great shots but you get the idea.

Congrats, looks great. Lets us know how it goes. I have been looking at upgrading the focuser on my 12" SW flex. I was thinking about a feathertouch, so would be interested why you chose the moonlite and how good it is on your scope.

Ya good point, if anyone wants one they are $370 AUD at your door. That's for focuser fitting kit and shipping. They are very easy to deal with and fast shipping

just ordered one myself with the rigel motor focuser - how long did yours take to arrive? Have you been happy with it (or, for that matter, even able to use it with all this rain) since you got it?

Adam, it usually takes about a week - week and a half to turn up from my experience (I have 2). They are very high quality focusers and you will not be dissapointed. In use they are as smooth and precise as you could possibly want.
