Please note: MoonLite Only manufactures motorized versions of all of our focusers. We no longer make manual focusers and do not have any left in stock. We are updating our web page to reflect this at this time. All Crayford model focusers come with a choice of 10 different Motor options to pick from that can handle everything from Visual to automated needs. Please check out the new V3 integrated controller style HIgh-Res motor, that is our most popular version.
