Dual-Speed 2" Crayford Focuser

[sooty]

Any advice on which type to purchase?

I understand that i will need a adapter,so it will fit the Skymax 180.

The reason is,the other night whilst observing Jupiter,albeit briefly,

when i changed eyepieces and tried to focus,the image seemed to 'jump' up,then it would 'fall' back into the centre of the eyepiece,if that makes sense!! Also,i have just read on here,about the 'clothes peg' trick.Not had a chance to try yet though.

Regards,

Sooty.

the image jumping was probably mirror shift/flop common on maks, but you get used to it

Been contemplating one of the new WO DDG focusers for my Skymax 150, might be of interest to you...

Thanks for the link Kev.Will try the 'clothes peg' next time,and see how i get on! Can't seem to find the Crayford focuser for SCT,on FLO's site,

but have come across this:
