Moonlite 2.5 inch Refractor focuser

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if any here has ever used or have experience with the moonlite 2.5 inch refractor focuser. It is an option on a refractor I am looking at buying. Any idea how it would compare to the 3.5 inch Feathertouch focuser? Are there any disadvantages with the Moonlite over the Feathertouch. The Moonlite is about $300 cheaper as an option. I do plan on doing Astrophotography, but no bigger then 35mm film format.

Link to the focuser is here: http://www.focuser.com/cgi-bin/dman.cgi?page=productdetail&plugin=dstore.cgi&product=CFL2

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Although I don't have experience with the 2.5" focuser I do own a single speed Moonlite refractor focuser and a dual rate model. They are both fantastic in regard to quality and feel. The folks at Moonlite are also just about the nicest and most honest businessmen I've ever dealt with. I could not recommend them highly enough. The Feathertouch is also a top-notch no compromise unit but the Ford to Rolls Royce comparison is unfair nonsense. It would be more fair to say AP160 or TOA150, either way you're getting one of the absolute best in the business.

Clear Skies,

Steve
