Quick post — installed the Peterson Engineering EZ Focus Kit. This kit makes the coarse focuser knob work a lot finer (to the point of not needing to use the microfocuser as much). The mirror lock stopped turning easily so I spent an hour talking to Pete Peterson and we troubleshot the mirror lock issue. Seems to be working okay now but waiting for a clear night to really test it. Also made a Hartmann Mask out of poster board. This uses diffraction to assist in focusing. Check out my links for websites on these items.
