Just for info, if I ever come over as "blunt" or upset it is not intentional, I am AUTISTIC, I have Aspergers, and ADHD, Autism, so my apologies if I ever sound, unintentionally confrontational. Thank you

Re: Focusser adjustment for Ha advice
Given a choice I use a Starlight focuser on any of my scopes. Moonlites are good but over time the bearings fail and while annoying is still usable. I have not come across this in any of my Starlight focusers.
