Haha! Wu must be very loaded!
It is also quite a load!
A very good alternative is to get a simple helical focuser, I have tried it and it works very well at minimal cost.

You see, the difference between the tak cass focuser, you can insert 2" eyepiece, while most helical focuser ie borg etc , it is 1.25". i have not seen a 2" to 2" helical focuser yet..... :|

Hi,
Hmm... borg got a lots helical focuser... I think you should be able to find the one that you need. See below:

Ever consider to machine an adepter ring to match other sct focuser such as the william optics dual speed focuser that cost 1/3 the price? just a suggestion.

Good suggestion! i'm interested to joint-order if chee yiun takes this route. I'm sure rlow and liuming also interested. In fact, maybe liuming can do the machining and sell to us!! :-)

good idea...arief, let's do it.
if you can get me a sketch, i can try to sent it for local machining...if not luiming can help us do it from PRC.
