Focuser Question

[Tribal-Wolf]

I like the Crayford focuser on my scope but as I just can't get the focus fine tuned enough for me I was thinking of either one of these or maybe one of these.

The main question is how accurate the autofocuser is for fine tune focusing?

Also is the dual speed Crayford worth the upgrade?

Both are well worth the upgrade but you can get dual speed a lot cheaper by upgrading with one of these:

Dual Speed 1:10 Microfocus Upgrade for Skywatcher Crayford [Lac-Micfoc-s] - 56.00 : 365Astronomy: Discovery for every day!

I just put one on my dob and it's a doddle to fit and works excellently. I doubt you'll want the autofocuser after fitting that unless you're imaging - but if you do it will fit fine as the backplate is the same size a the SW one. Hope that helps

(The delivery and service were fine with this supplier.)
