I'm getting into astrophotography and I need to get a motorized focuser for my CPC 11". Any recommendations on which one? I assume I want a motorized focuser. Will I be able to control focus with my computer as well?

Thanks!

Roo

I would get either the JMI or Moonlight ones. I have owned 3 Moonlight ones and its a nice product with lots of options. Probably ditto with JMIs stuff. These are higher end options, and you will drop 300 or so.

Feathertouch also. As well as the Clement for those seeking the ultimate in a non-flexure focuser.
