I am a novice astrophotographer who is just getting started after
advancing past piggyback photography. I have always had trouble
focusing and purchased the B&K astrofocuser about 2 weeks ago. I used
it this past Saturday for the first time and was amazed at the tack
sharp photos I received back from the developer. The astrofocuser is
easy to use and will save me loads of time and frustration. The price
seems a bit steep, but I beleive it is worth the price.
Take Care,
Steve
By The Way, the 2 photos I took (Orion and Horsehead) are now sitting on
my desk at work as 8x10s. The moon and saturn also came out with sharp
focus.
