The focal reducer model works for visual use. If using a diagonal it must be used without the focal reducer installed as it will not come to focus. Understood.
The microfocuser could be added later but you would most likely have to send it back to Moonlite to have it added. I would like to avoid that if possible. That would mean I need to purchase the micro focuser now, correct? Can I take the micro focuser off to use it manual if desired? (this may be a question for Moonlite).
The microfocuser is not just an AP function. It works great for visual use as well. Some just prefer not focusing manually and avoid bumping the OTA (having it shake while focusing). I for one enjoy manual focusing but to each his own.
New Purchase List: Flange: Focal Reducer 3 1/4'' Meade Thread DrawTube: .95'' travel focal reducer brass comp ring Color: Blue (my favorite as well ) Knob/Motor: 1.5'' tri-knob w/Shaft lock *** DC Stepper Motor ***???
This will allow me to use it with or without the DC motor *and* will allow the DC motor to be used with my stock Meade handcontroller? Do I need any special cables?
