I ended up trading up to 12" model that is still working, but I replaced the extension tube with a Crayford focuser and use that 99% of the time so I don't have to mess with the electronic focuser. I don't trust it. DW -------------------- "Don't worry about what telescope you own, or its quality. Just get out under the night sky, and enjoy God's wondrous universe." - T. M.
