JMI products are not cheap... you are definitely not one.

BTW, Starlight is coming up with a new 2.7" wide focuser soon.

Yup, I'm anxiously waiting for this to upgrade my NP127is. While the new 2.4" focuser from TV was a good step up from the older version, it still lacks a robust solution for motorised focusing. The focusmate/driver, imho, is 'temporary' and feels like a stop gap fix. After using an FT, I've yet to find another fine focuser that is comparable.

Though I might not actually have to wait for it if what I have planned goes thru...... trading my AP180 for an AP155 EDF + $$$ which means I will probably sell off my NP127is. Which will leave me with again 2 refractors since I replaced my TV76 with a Stellarvue SV95T.
