Feathertouch focuser for CPC925 new
      #2084544 - 12/30/07 10:40 PM

Hi guys, its great to be back, i've been travelling too much for work and haven't spent much time on this forum lately or observing.
I was wondering if the FT was available for the CPC925 now?
I can't find it on the Starizona website.

Rick, assuming that it's the Micro you are looking for, it does not yet show up on either the Starizona or Starlight Instruments websites, so I'd check directly with the companies for availability. Werner & Brigitte were kind enough to ship pre-production models to at least a couple of us CN'ers a few months ago. I believe I paid $169.50 for mine.

I was eager to receive it before taking our CPC 925 on vacation, so Werner sent it to me without anodizing on one of the parts, on the condition that I return it to Starlight for completion when I got home. It felt like the longest three weeks of my life using the stock focuser again while waiting for the Micro to come back!

The feel of this focuser is absolute perfection and mine did not have the binding washer problem that some have experienced with the CPC 1100 version. Good luck!
