In the video below I take a look at the Celestron Motorized Focuser. This focuser makes it much easier to focus my Celestron 8" SCT on a Celestron Evolution mount. While that mount is a great mount for visual use because it is so easy to carry around and transport, it isn't as stable during high-magnification planetary imaging. So, the image can really bounce around when trying to focus manually. The motorized focuser causes no shaking or vibration on the mount when focusing,

I put together a video on how you can correct field rotation in planetary animations to get a perfectly smooth final result like the one...

Here is a video where I show a few options for mounting a Tele Vue 60 refractor onto an SCT telescope. You can use the TV 60 as a super finder scope, or just for a wide field of view option when using your SCT.

Here is a video review of the Tele Vue 60, a 60mm aperture, 360mm focal length apochromatic refractor. The Tele Vue 60 can serve as a super-portable travel scope, a spotting scope, or as a super-finderscope for your larger telescope. If you want to mount the Tele Vue 60 to your SCT telescope, check out the video below where I show a few ways to do that.
