I'm looking for possible manual focuser upgrades for an Orion 80ED. The optics of the specific scope that I have are excellent--I just don't think that the focuser matches the optics quality.

Recommendations?

Don,
Starlight intruments makes thier feather touch for refractor upgrades. Moonlight also makes decent focusers and thier web site has them pictured on some Orion scopes. If you only need a micro focuser option then you might check out Mecury Systems Support.
