A feather touch focuser would be great, but they’re very pricey. I simply don’t use that scope enough to justify it.


My first scope came with a Crayford focuser. In automating that type of focuser, I discovered it had no repeat accuracy. It would slip.
So one of my requirements for my next telescope was a geared focuser.
Now, when it steps, it is accurate. And backlash can be easily accounted for. (But I use HDR for better focusing accuracies)
