Astro Engineering Large Focus Wheel?

[Daz1969]

Hi all, Does any one know where i can get hold of one of these - Astro Engineering Large Focus Wheel ? for the focus knob on an SCT

Just seen one on flebay and thought it was a good idea but cant seem to find anything on it at all.

Got any other suggestions for achieving the same result? Jam jar lid / cardboard.

Cheers

I had one of those AE 'knobs' on my 10" LX, before I put a JMI motor focus on.

It did make turning the coarse focus control much easier, and more precise, but I didn't consider that the item justified the £22 cost.

Just a thought , are the Celestron and Meade SCT focussing units the same size ??
