thanks kaomoo.. what i wanted to know is was the ST80's focuser usable?
i tried using some cheap china scopes and their focusers always give me trouble.. either it's too loose or it slides backwards..
or worse.. the fit isn't right and it shakes..

Hi sticky ,

It is easy to fix up a loose focusser. Just slide in a plastic shim cut from a clear folder between sliding parts.
