Finallly got it Back .. ED102 with MoonLite Focuser.

After much waiting ... it arrived at last.
First MoonLite Focuser I have owned ... and worth every cent.

It's an ED Doublet .. I think the HD Optics on the front lens is a bit " over the top " ... although when I first looked through it ( 5 months ago ) ... it surprised me how well it performed.

Nice Wide Fields at f/6 .

and guess what today is .... overcast and cloudy ... stink'n hot ... high humidity ...

I think the MoonLite is well worth the investment ... oh so smooth ... buttery ... and quality to boot.

Some pic's added.

Hey Flash, that's one beautiful looking focuser. Would you recommend the Kson 102m F/6? How about for astrophotography?

Best wishes,
Cam

P.S. Gave the field flattener a go a week ago. Looks good but won't be able to tell how good until I get my PC back up and running again. Hopefully will be able to post some new photos soon.

Congrats mate, they are like a work of art. I didn't want to use mine, just wanted to drool over it. I got mine with the high res stepper to use with robofocus, it is just such a breeze to work with a 100% repeatable focus.

Top stuff.
