    Very cool Julien. The devices you have come up with are pure genius.

  • @davidwillis5396
    Great vidio keep them comming. It's nothing but rain & clouded now a heat wave here in Central QLD Australia
  • @l.m2517
    Tes vidéos sont comme d’habitude excellentes. J’apprécie tout particulièrement ta clarté, ta concision. C’est propre clair et efficace. Pas de bla-bla inutile. Et puis tu choisis de traiter de sujets dont personne n’a le courage ou le niveau pour en parler. Seul frustration : la fréquence de tes vidéos, on aimerait en avoir une par jour 😂!
  • @sdevine49
    I definitely have a need for this. I’ve ordered two! Thanks for doing this.
  • @ajerig
    Let us know when/if you are planning to do another batch. Awesome product from the looks of everything.
  • @gr0uch02a
    Definitely getting one of these. Super clever!
  • @cyrilastro
    Super la mise à jour merci beaucoup je vais m’en occuper dans les semaines à venir merci pour ton travail
  • @dominickzaucha
    Hey! Looking at this I realized your focuser would also probably work for the Lunt LS50. You might want to consider that as well as your market, theres quite a few of them out there and theres no way to get an electronic focuser on those unless you buy an expensive starlight. I would be thrilled to get one for it!
  • @kingjamez80
    I'd be interested in one of your focusers if you ever do a second batch.
  • @waltert
    Wow awesome product! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and didn’t know someone actually went and made it. I just found out about your channel from one of Cuiv’s videos and it looks like I missed the campaign. Any chance you may make another batch sometime?
  • @revolting887
    @darkskygeek any chance you'll do another batch of these OAG focusers? I just learned about this from Cuiv the Lazy Geek and missed this great project by 2 months 😕
  • @JVRost
    Why put OAG after the filter wheel? It’s easier to place it before the filters, then you don’t have to compensate for focus when changing filters. I have this scheme.
