      5.0 Hard to describe how good the quality is

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I bought this because I needed an external focuser to avoid image shift problems in my 8" LX90 SCT. I had fairly high expectations given the price tag, but was not expecting such a finely crafted piece of hardware. The motion is unbelievably smooth. Even the thumbscrews that hold equipment in the focuser operate with exquisite perfection. I will not hesitate to buy more of these focusers to upgrade future telescopes.
