Gday
Too often I read about order delays and poor internet service but I thought I would give a wrap to Ron Newman at Moonlite focusers in the US.
I have recently ordered a SCT focuser off Ron - this is my second moonlite - I recieve an almost immediate reply to my email allowing for time difference - he answers his emails between 9 and 10 am their time and the focuser arrives 5 days later - like clockwork. I then emailed him re his new focus controller and bingo the service was repeated - 5 working days in the mail. The product is excellent - as is the service so I thought I should make it known and give credit where it is due. I can highly reccomend this guy - 3 dealings and absolutely no problems.
I used another focus controller previously and while they have responded regarding the failure of this unit (and have said they will fix it under warranty) I ordered a Tak mounting bracket and motor about 6 months ago (pre demise of the Tak) and then recently ordered another controller (for the mobile mount at home - I leave one in the observatory) both orders were confirmed and nothing happened - not even responses to emails. I understand they have some problems over there at the moment but if they cant supply an email would be appreciated.
So the moral is that if you are considering GOOD focusers or controllers I would defiantely reccommend that you put moonlite on your list for consideration.
