Tell me about your SW 150mm Mak

How do you like its performance? What do you not like about it? I am a visual observer only.

Thanks for your comments.

For Luna and planets plus glob cluster superb, and with a 42mm 2" ep its okay for some deep sky objects from a dark site

I love my 150mm Mak, when I can get it focused!!

Even though I've tried the clothes peg focuser mod, I still seem to introduce too much vibration and so focusing seems to be hit and miss for me. I'm in the middle of building a motorised focuser, so hopefully that will solve my problems, otherwise a focuser upgrade will be on the cards.

I am interested in this motor focus project, please keep me up to date on this as i hope to do a similar thing with mine
