Re: Moonlite Focuser... benefits?

Besides what Marcus mentioned about the focal reducer model (which is the one you should get for imaging) I will say that once you own a Moonlite you can never live without one again. They are the single best accessory purchase I have ever made for all my scopes. The precision you get with the 2-speed action is awesome (for a non-motor driven focuser) and you will see the time and quality that goes into them as they are a beautiful work of art.

Also Al and Ron are two of the nicest people you will ever deal with. They are always there for you to answer any questions or issues you may have with your Moonlite before and after the purchase so feel free to shoot them an e-mail if you still have questions.

You are making a great choice Robert.

Here is what I would recommend:

Flange:
Focal Reducer 3 1/4'' Meade Thread

DrawTube:
.95'' travel focal reducer brass comp ring

Color:
Blue

Knob/Motor:
1.5'' tri-knob w/Shaft lock
