M. Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 This is very tempting, just had a look at a starlight micro-focuser on FLO and a quick internet search shows that it can be modified to fit. https://www.flickr.com/photos/27241501@N03/sets/72157634503757877/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have one on my 925 Martin - they are fabulous for snap-to focusing when observing. They don't solve the mirror flop issue though so you have to sort that manually when imaging. Very nice and very precise focusers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, convincing the missus that we need all this stuff is my next move Edited November 4, 2015 by M__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 If only I had the money.. Next on on my list of things to buy is eyepieces, 2" televue 55mm for xmas maybe I don't think I've done too bad this year, the C8 is certainly getting used, and it's had a few upgrades. Hope to replace the focuser next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
