I am awaiting the arrival of this very OTA you reviewed, and wouldn't mind upgrading the focuser. Since I prefer Crayford focusers, I only have a couple of options in the 1.25" size, JMI's NGF and RCF Minis, and a helical design by KineOptics, the HC-1. Do you believe I could do a workable drop-in replacement with either of these, without altering the tube?
