David,

Nice pictures. I have the Orion ST120 (purchased for only $150 here on Astromart!), and I really like it.

Have you upgraded the focuser? I would love to use mine for narrowband imaging more often, as I like the short f-ratio and 600mm focal length, but the focuser makes imaging diffucult. I am looking at a two-speed Crayford style.

Any advice you could give would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith
