"I used the Series II for the first time on a trip to Terlingua, Texas. It performance was outstanding! Every negative had pin point focus. When I use the STI focuser I find it so easy to get tack sharp stars every time and quickly too. A real joy to use over the old methods I used to focus." - Jim Brownfield

Just wanna let you know that this Sunday, I took a photo with my ultra-portable AP Stowaway(90mm) and used your focuser (I used Antares)....damn it was quick: 10 sec. So quick, I didn't believe it. I went back & forth for another two minutes to confirm. Monday the negatives were printed: dead-on focus !! Yes, by far the quickest and most accurate focuser on the market. Okay, it took another 6 seconds to gently remove the focuser, another 10 seconds to put in my camera case and retrieve the real body, and another 6 seconds to gently align and turn the body into place. When focusing in the past, it took me a minimum of 15 minutes with my OM-1 Varimagnifier...even then, I was never too sure about the focus...due to my astigmatism. That's all history now :) - Jay Ouellet

"I should mention that I did not do any stacking or any fancy imaging processing with these images, but simply performed the basic procedures outlined by Terry Platt in the MXC7 manual. I used the Series III MX7C focuser on a nearby star and then slewed the scope to Jupiter. I think you'll agree that the focuser works very well, so well that I doubt I'll need to get a secondary focuser such as a JMI. Here's one of Saturn. I used the focuser on Aldebaran, slewed to Saturn, and popped in the MX7C. Like the Jupiter pics, this one is not a composite (look, ma, no stacking!) and very little processing was done." -Rob Bensko

. "Well I'm very impressed with the focuser, it's cutting down the wasted time trying to refocus the camera.  I now have much more time for imaging and I have never been able to produce pictures like these before with a webcam." - Alan Leggett

(Taken with a Meade F10 LX 200 10" and a Vesta SC2 peltier cooled 30x40sec exposures, using a Mogg focal reducer down to F4.5  and Series IV QC focuser.)

"I tried photographing the Swan Nebula (M20) from my garden, in a very light polluted environment. As you see, the focus is perfect (even if my guiding wasn't ...) I'm not in the same league as the pro's, but it's my first marginally successful astro-image, period."   - Bruce Dickson

"Someday you might want to stop by my web site and see what your focusers have allowed me to do. Steve Smith Gallery I'm especially pleased with the latest M3 and M51 shots. Thanks for a great product!" - Steve Smith
 

"I am attaching one of my latest images. Focused with a Stiletto of course!!!!!             I am happy to report I have not had a single exposure out of focus after I             purchased your focuser. I wouldn't want to do without it." - Anthony Davoli

"Attached are a few shots I took after using the Series IV Stiletto focuser. Since I am quite nearsighted and have astigmatisms, focusing by other means has almost never worked. Your focuser, however, made focusing the camera a breeze!" - Paul Lennous
