Focuser upgrade options

I recently bought a Meade 6" Newt/LXD75 OTA only from a fellow Astromarter and was wanting to know what focuser upgrades/replacements are available for this scope. I dont want to break the bank on a new focuser, but want one better than the meade one

Also are there any electronic focusers for a Newt focuser?

Thanks

James

James,

Not sure what your price range is, but moon lite(http://www.focuser.com) focusers kick butt. I've got a crayford dual speed on order for my Meade AR5 scope. 385$ USD. Not cheap, but a great focuser.

Thanks Hugh, I have been looking at focusers, but Im really confused on which one with fit a 6 inch Newt.

I have seen the moonlight focusers, but not sure if I want to spend that much. Heck I paid under $200 for the Newt OTA
