Focusers again!

Fortuitous discovery in October's Astronomy magazine. In the review of the
off-axis scope there is a recommendation for a focuser called the JMI DX-1.
Some research finds http://www.jimsmobile.com which sells motorised
focusers.

Anyone any experience of these?

Cheers

Some of the best, actually.

Not specifically that model, but I had an NGF3 from JMI that was superb.
I wish I had kept it when I sold the scope. Smooth, shift-free and easy
to micro-adjust, despite the absence of a geared focus assembly.

Look into "feathertouch" focusers from Starlight Instruments. It is probably the
best quality focuser available. You can get one of these by contacting Starlight Instruments
directly or over the web from http://www.highpointscientific.com/starlight.html.

They are not cheap, a full featured model can run about $350.00
