Starlight Instruments FTF2015BCR-RP 2" Feather Touch Focuser

Starlight Instruments FTF2015BCR-LW: The 2-Inch Ultralight Focuser

The proven 2015BCR has been further developed to achieve the best possible weight savings while maintaining maximum stability.

The focuser was freed from excess material through cutouts and more precise processing and therefore weighs approximately 385g. It stands as stable as the normal extension and can be loaded up to approx 4kg.

The extracts of this manufacturer are among the best. All running parts are made of hardened stainless steel to achieve the best possible smooth running even under maximum loads. The focusers have no signs of wear. Even years later, the fit is the same as the first day. Hardened stainless steel wheels and a hardened stainless steel running surface ensure smooth yet highly precise adjustment.

The adaptation of the focuser to the telescope

The focuser has a dovetail ring that fits various Starlight and TS-Optics adapters. This allows you to attach the focuser to the telescope.

♦ Rear sight telescopes (refractor, Cassegrain...) - The focuser housing is very short, only 37 mm. Therefore, the focuser can be used with telescopes with a narrow focal position.

♦ Side View Telescopes (Newton) - matching bases are linked. However, the use of an extension is recommended, otherwise the extension tube will protrude too far into the tube when the shortest extension position is set. When calculating the focus position, the height of the focuser (37mm) must be added to the height of the spacer.

We recommend the R20-1.0 for Newtonian telescopes. The spacer has a height of 25.4 mm. The effective height of the focuser is then 62.4 mm + the 6 mm height of the Newton base.
