Starlight Instruments 3.5" Feather Touch Focuser with Micro Reduction - 114.3mm adjustment range
Starlight's largest focuser and without a doubt one of the best focusers in the world for DIY telescopes and for upgrading telescopes. We recommend the focuser especially for apochromats and for Cassegrain and RC telescopes, as long as the rear aperture is large enough.
The advantages of Starlight Feather-Touch focusers:
♦ 100% correct position of the image plane - no tilt
♦ Good illumination even for large sensors
♦ Micro reduction for more precise focus
♦ Free adaptation to different types of telescopes (connection adapter see recommended accessories)
♦ Brake for free resistance adjustment - eliminates the need for clamping
♦ Regulation of the extension tube by rack and pinion decoupled from the bearing
♦ Brass toothed racks and hardened stainless steel toothed wheels ensure a responsive fit even under maximum loads
♦ Long life: the Feather Touch focuser is for life
♦ Wide range of accessories and connection adapters, as well as the possibility of motorization
