I use an NGS-F crayford focuser on my LX50, it makes focusing much easier when taking webcam images with my ToUcam. Manual focusing induces too much vibration...
I agree, the NGF-S is a great focuser. And in conjunction with a mirror lock, it keeps views in focus across the meridian. I don't astro-image, but I do use...
thanks Alan for the comprehensive reply, was taking the OTa off the forks a relativly easy job. Also you mention the 'eyeopener' back, this is not something I...

David, You are most welcome, happy to help so there are no silly questions. It is quite easy to remove the ota from the forks. You need to loosen one side of...

I'm using a Denkmeier and a Burguess Binoviewers in my beloved 10" LX50. No
problem at all on reaching focus. The experience is amazing. Once you try it
there...
I use a Denkmeier standard binoviewer with my 10" LX50 OTA. I have not had problems reaching focus. But, I did have a problem with weight: a NGF-S focuser,...
Dude, get the 24mm PanOptics. Start saving for the 19mm PanOptics after that. I live with those two eyepieces on my 10"f10. After that the most used eyepiece...
I have an LX50 10" F10 and use the Denk II binoviewer. I have no focus issues. The balance is a huge issue. The drive on your LX will not like it. I love the...
