I have had this scope for a little under a year now! It has been fun to learn with it on my own after using my friend's 8" Orion dob scope. I picked this up for $100 from one of the local groups in my state of Utah. (his wife made him sell it) As much as I enjoy using it, I hate the focuser. I know these scopes were meant to be made low cost for the average consumer. So my question here is, what would be the best way of going about doing a focuser upgrade, and what would people recommend?
And yes, I have heard it all before "just enjoy it, buy a new scope much later..."
I am not looking to spend hundreds of dollars, when I bought this scope for only $100. but it would be nice to add a new focuser that would make it a bit easier to use, and more user friendly for when taken to star parties
