Starlight Instruments Feathertouch Focuser which uses a curved base Baader Coma Corrector	Handbox is powered by 4 AA Batteries Plug can also work in the Paramount	The bracket easily attaches to the focuser. Different sized O-Rings can be used by rotating the motor.	The tubes I use are made of spiral wound fiberglass held together by epoxy resin. These tubes are extremely ridged. That's 260 lbs on that  tube!  BTW, it was -8  when the image  was taken.	This is my latest addition. I  hope  to have some images with it soon.
