Way back in March this year '14 I ordered a Feather Touch adaptor for my 6" f12 Refractor. The focuser I already have on my 10" OOUK Newt…a bit of a waste as with a Coma Corrector permanently in the focuser I move the knobs a mm or two at the most…atonal waste of the worlds best focuser IMO. Now I have the 86mm adaptor I can mount the FT focuser on my Frac…..happy days and nights ahead. The Newt is going to get a GSO Crayford. A photo to come. Matt

It's here. Sadly I'm at work far to much of late, so haven't got round to putting it on...sound all too familiar?

Ten months for an adapter are you shittin' me? That was worth waiting that long for? I don't even want to no who you bought it from. They should be embarrassed. Mike

Direct from FT mikey...seeing as you didn't want to know. Was supposed to be in stock...until after they took my money then it wasn't Several emails and months later and hey presto.....now I'm not so sure the wait is worth it, as the bolt holes don't exactly line up with my flange no problems with my GSO crayford... The FT has been on my 10" newtonian which I'm going to sell.....think I'll be sticking with the GSO on the frac....less is more.... Matt

That's a shame Matt. My experiences with Wayne and Starlight have always been good ones. When I needed a few little parts to rebuilt an FT on a Newtonian I was refurbing, Wayne sent the parts N/C. I just bought a piece to get the focuser off the tube and gain some focal length and they had exactly what I needed and shipped within a day. I have called and found out something was on backorder and would be a couple of months but they were always upfront about it.
BTW, I'm in the process of moving 10 miles down the road so sorry for being scarce here. It's taking all my time. I should be back regularly by the end of the month.
