Hello and welcome id like to ask everyone who have this telescope.

Im originally a Seastar user but ever since its being told that the seastar itself cannot do planetary imaging or observing i purshued this big boy.

Its also an ALT AZ telescope but im wont be using it for astrophotography, right now im just gonna use it for observing the solar system except the sun since its dont have a solar filter nor its not recommended.

So I like to ask everyone that does anyone can suggest a good focuser for it that is good but cheap, im trying to focusing the telescope but its not doing anything instead im only just screwing it out.

And dont know how to do it.

In the next year when i know how to observe, im also might try the planetary imaging aswell which i might need for this also a cheap and good astrophotography or planetary camera.

Does anyone can suggest anything that i can use with it.
