Is there a better option for the FT? I know a bunch of you experts are using the FT for AP.

I'm no expert, but I do use a FT focuser for AP. Someday, I'll probably go motorized, but until then I just use a paper scale with numbers and tick marks wrapped around the fine focusing knob. When focusing, I note the scale position, and take test shots. The scale readings are useful in adjusting the focuser to get the point of best focus. The best thing about this method is -- no wires.

For a question like this, you might get more responses in the "equipment" section.
