Orion Accufocus

[russ]

Bought one of these a month or so ago and not used it until last night. All i can say is absolutely fantastic. About the best £40 i've spent.

It fits nearly all Synta focusers (includes the Celestron Newts & refractors) and just transform the experience of using the scope. Best of all i think it works better than the JMI Motofocus which costs £129 for the one that fits Synta focusers. It's a nicer unit to look at and the motor has more torque which makes it possible to focus very finely.

Awesome. Checkout the SCS Astro website for details.

what about fitting it to a nice crayford?

[russ]

Could be a tad difficult. Have TS not got their motor focus out yet? I'm sure they said they had one on the way. Maybe worth checking their site again.

Yeah I'll have a look but I bet it'll be more than £40 though
