Adjusting the sharpness of Schmidt-Cassegrains is often a problem. The image shifts due to the tilting of the main mirror. In addition, the focus occasionally changes by itself. Thus optimal photos or successful observations often become a game of chance.
Our SC focuser solves this problem. Due to the Crayford friction principle, it is absolutely shifting-free and impresses with its excellent workmanship. The drag is adjustable so that accessories weighing up to 2 kg can be focused well.
360° rotation:
Move the camera or eyepiece into the correct orientation without loosening the clamps. Use an off-axis guidre to find the guide star without loosening the camera. This makes 360° rotation possible. Simply loosen the knurled screw at the front of the focuser and you can simply turn the complete focuser.
Clamping:
2" accessories are clamped using a brass compression ring. Of course, a high-quality reduction to 1.25" with thread for 2" filters is included in the price.
Travel:
The adjustment range is approx. 25 mm - that is more than enough. One adjusts roughly with the main mirror focusing, all other fine adjustments can then be made with the focuser.
Note:
The focuser only works on telescopes with at least 8" aperture, otherwise the focusing knob is too close to the thread to allow mounting.
