New focuser?

Hi guys can anyone recommend a focuser that can be fitted to my 200p (without having to do any drilling) that will allow me to focus in smaller increments?

I think that is what the dual speed focusers do isn't it? I just don't know which one will fit directly in place of the one I have that came with the scope.

Thanks

Felix

Take a look at this one, I think it's a direct replacement but phone up first and speak to James.

Nice one. Thanks Mick :). Right that's the next thing to save for. I'll see if I can't sneak it before the wedding ;)

Have a look at one of these.

A good bit cheaper, and does the same thing. Here's my experience with it, it's a massive improvement on the single speed one.

That's awesome. Thanks Martyn, I will be purchasing on of the lacerta ones. Thanks for the walkthrough, that really helpful. Will let you know when I've got it and fitted it :) will have to be best payday though.
