Hi guys Just wondering if anyone out there in astroland as bought a moonlite focuser CS2" Direct from moonlite to replace the helical focuser on a coronado 60mm solarmax 2. I Tried ordering through there products page and it come up with a choice of travel brass comp rings 4 different sizes . 85 .95 threaded 1.15 .1.5 what ever they are. I emailed Ron at at moonlite but as yet no explanation on which one I need . Also there is an option to buy or not buy a flange so not really sure if I need it or not. Once again waiting on answers from Ron at moonlite. It's alot of money to waste on stuff you don't need so I want to get it right first time . Also is there any hidden costs I.E. uk import tax etc. The other question will ask does anyone have any photos of the results. Any info or tips would be appreciated. Thanks for looking Regards Solarboy.

Hi Kelling heath is very good and well organised Astroboot sale and a few astro vendors turn up on the Saturday. The pitch price is also discounted for duration of the star party. One of your replys said there 2 but it's 3 time's a year. We traval up from Rugby for the 3 star party's spring and autumn and winterfest and if the weather is not on our side there is a good pub restaurant and shop on site . If you want a pitch thay are very offen full but if people can't turn up for what ever reason they sell them on Slg for sale section and AA buy sell UK so watch theses ads.Regards Solarboy.
